Problems Installing My New System On My Buick Century 1990 Plz Read

I have a 1990 buick century and i was trying to put in a system, i got a blaupunkt san jose head unit, infinity kappa 6x9's, and a profile 400 watt amp. I just finished installing it and hooked it all up and everything and it powered on and the first thing it said was comm. error. It started to play my cd but i couldn't hear any sound. Then the whole unit went off because there was something drawing massive current and it killed my battery! Shit ive been trying to install this for like 2 weeks and now this happens. I know i didn't hook it up wrong because i hooked it up the same exact way before i installed it and it played and it sounded good! Anyways does anyone know what could be wrong with it? This is really pissing me off!

umm... take it step by step... take out the amp.. (wrap all power/ground wires in electrical tape, //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/nono.gif.eca61d170185779e0921b0faa9704973.gif no fires) then try to turn on the Hu... if it works, try to reinstall the amp, be very sure of all connections.. If HU doesnt work, check all its wiring, if all is good, go to a shop or someone that could further help... ide say it could be the amp.. only thing that makes sense in my mind.. a HU shouldnt pull enough to drain a battery..

a i fixed it stupid me it was a stupid problem! i dunno how the battery got drained though! The problem was the amp was switched to Low Pass filter and my 6x9's couldn't play. ahahaha
