The "My car burned up and it is Subaru's fault" thread should come any day now.

OK, I suggest you have your car towed to a shop and have them fix it. Then come back and let us know what they found wrong.

Ain't nutten wrong with sometimes letting the professionals fix things. -

You thought you fixed it yet still ran with a higher amperage fuse. If you can hear an audible "pop" the you have a dead short someplace. It is likely related to the work you did on the amp since that was when it started. The car is literally a time bomb waiting to go off when the short occurs and the fuse does not blow in time. If you get really lucky the worst you will do is fry the ECU. Things could go all the way to an electrical fire and a total lose. Spend a little money now and get it fixed properly or spend a lot of money later for a larger repair or to replace the car. Your call.

Which nut WAS it connected to?

Reminds me of the days when people would put a copper penny in the fuse box of their home when the fuse kept blowing. Anyone remember those days?
