power shut off in amp and head unit, won't turn back on.

So, today I finally was able to wire everything, and for about an hour it worked.

In celebration, decided to go to taco bell with a couple of buddies and later to the liquor store.

I shut my car off and went into taco bell, when I came back out and started the car, I realized the sub wasn't working. I wasn't worried, figured that the amp overheated and it would eventually cool off. We went to the liquor store and I checked out the amp, it was perfectly cool. So I couldnt figure out what happened. I got back to my college and checked some of the stuff and it looked alright. I read that if your amp shuts off, than the ground and remote connections should be checked. So I checked them, While thinking that maybe the remote wire needed to be re-crimped, I inserted one wire, then went to insert the other and heard a pop. Now, my receiver doesnt work. I checked the receiver fuse, and the fuse under the hood of the xterra, it is all fine.

So now I'm stuck, what happened? has this ever happened to anyone?
