The battery should read more than 12 volts. When the alternator is working, it should read about 13.5 volts at the battery.

Yep, it sounds like you have a dead short in that circuit.

Did you install the amp? If so, like suggested, you may wish to check your work. If someone else installed the amp, I'd suggest you take it back to them and ask them to sort it out.

That ought to keep you busy tomorrow ..
