what kinda of lighting audio amp is it...mine is a Lightning Bolt B2.150.2 450 Watts...mine doesn't obviously pop...my neighboor said my amp has a delay on it.....when u turn ur vehicle off like 2 secs later you hear the sub turning off? if so thats normal....

mine just sounds like a certain hz of bass hits for a second, like thump its in a small sealed box so i doubt its over excurting

I have a Lightning Audio Amp In On Of MY Trucks...Is It A Bad Sounding Pop Like Popcorn Kinda Pop or Does It Sound Like It Shuts Off Kinda Loud(Not A Bad Sounding Pop)...mine doesn't really have a bad pop i dont think, but it isnt bad sounding

It's not good for the subs. If the poping is bad enough, it could cause the sub to over excurt, which definately isn't good. It seems to be worse in a ported box vs. a sealed box also.

does the pop hurt anything?

This has been covered long long ago. Thankfully I remember where at:

HERE

Look up section 2.2 My system "pops" when I turn it off. What is happening and how can I get rid of it?

It may be a grounding issue or it is just the fact that the head unit comes on after the amplifier. The HU will send an "on" to it after it has kicked in. Higher end amps usually have a delay that will prevent that from happening.

Are the grounding points sanded down? The ground wire short as possible? No loose wires (including behind the HU, specifically the remote wire)?
