What to do now ? Should I buy another amp or is there another way to fix it ?

If I buy another one what are your recommendations ? specifications ? Price

What's the difference between 2 channels and 4 channels ?

What should i get ?

Tank you very much for your input

Can it be just the fuse ?

I mean if i buy another fuse and put it on the amp, it will turn on again ?
 
if you put power to the ground that could be a bad thing smell the amp in most cases you can smell a amp if it has blown, it will smell burned or scorched kinda like burnt plastic. if this is not the case check fuses and make sure you have a good ground on the amp ( hope this helped).
 
Please re-send picture, 404 error . but 2 channel amp runs a max of 2 speakers a 4 channel amp runs 4 speakers. 1 channel is "mono".
 
Jb, you can use a 2 channel amp for the inside of the car, you will lose the fader, and the balance will now work as the fader. That is the only thing with using a 2 channel amp inside the car.

From the sounds of what you did you just fried the amp. You should never try to wire an amp while the negative is still connected to the battery. You just learned a costly mistake. For a replacement, it depends on the rms wattage of the speakers you have. But usually, a 50 watts rms X 4 channels will do the trick, if you want to use another 2 channel make sure it gives you 100 watts rms per channel.
