Could be 2 small of a fuse. What size is the amp (watts/channels)? What is it pushing and how are the speakers hooked up (series/bridged)?

Is the amp getting pwr? Have you checked the fuse under the hood on the pwr wire of the amp near the battery? And what size is that fuse?

Is it doing that with the car turned on, cranked up, and/or off?

That amp could be damaged by now due to that past ground problem...

Disconnect the negative from the battery box.
