Check the fuse.

Make sure the connection between the battery terminal and the wire is actually good connection?

Judging by your post, I would make an appointment to have it checked by a profesional.

You DID install a fuse no more than 18" from the battery, didn't you? I have to ask, as you didn't mention it at all...

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Does the amp ever turn on?  If it comes on when the engine is not running, but does not stay on when you start the engine, then yes your voltage regulator could be a problem.  If the amp has never came on, the regulator is not your problem.
