You don't use/need ignition for a compression test. Ignition is turned off when you do one. It's at least not that. Factory amp for infinity sound systems is located under the passenger seat, so that's my guess.

Yes, thats the amp. If oyu had disconected anything to do with the ignition, the car wouldnt run. :) If your comrpession is really zero, it is most likely a broken or skipped tbelt. Pull the upper timingbelt cover to see if its loose, broken, or otherwise hosed. You cna also look through the oil fill hole to see if the cam tuns when someone cranks the starter.
