Amp doesn't get any power...

Here's the shortened story:

I got it installed and everything was working fine. I go out later that night and it didn't have any power. I saw that the power and ground wires came out of the clamps that go into the amp. It being 2 o'clock in the morning...I wasn't thinking that clearly, and didn't disconnect the negative battery terminal, so all of a sudden a spark shot out of the power wire. That pretty much scared the pee out of me, so I just let it be and figured I would mess with it the next day. I go out today, get all the wires abck in, and it still doesn't get any power. Did I blow a fuse? Anything else? Help would be greatly appreciated.

Hopefully, you only blew a fuse. Check the one that is near the battery or any other ones that are on the power line. Also check the fuses on the amp itself. Holfully the fuses caught anything before any real damage was done.

Yeah I tested the fuse right next to the battery and it's definitely blown. I hope Radio Shack will carry replacements...
