This is a first. I'd take apart the dash and console to get a good look at all the wiring. Make a good assesment on the damage and parts to replace.
Yoy live up north...maybe a mouse crawled up in their and chewed some wires.

I actually just figured it out. took the amp out and the upper side of the amplifier smells like it's burnt. There is no damage to any of the wires. I guess I should just go ahead and order that amp from above...

I just took the amp apart and this is what it looks like (sorry for the low quality pics, I just did a couple of quick shots with my phone cam)
Bottom side of the top part...

Does that mean I need more than just an amp?

Since only the amp failed, change it out and continue. Power it up and keep an eye on it for a while...up the volume. If all is good, button it up and call it a day.
