Hmmm, was the amp positive earth and the car negative earth?!?!?

I suspect that the amp has a short in it. I don't suppose you got any burning smells or sparks, etc, etc?

Try looking at the fuse box under the bonnet. There are some dirty-great-big master fuses in there. Check for any signs of burnt cabling as well...

Do you have a DVM? If so, check the earth connection between battery earth and the car chassis.

When you say "plugged the amp in", could you clarify a little more - i.e. did you splice the wiring loom to fit it, or does your car come with a ready-made plug?
