Um...you using an aftermarket amp or the stock one? I'd say the place should have fixed it for you since i t's most likely their fault...

There should have been a separate cable ran from the battery to the amp with an insline fuse. See if you can trace that.

Disconnect the battery, take the thing out and try to ring it with a multipmeter....if it rings - it's good, if it doesn't - it's dead.
