Exclamation Help!! Plzz Cdplayer/radio Doesnt Work

OMG!! Now i F@#$%^ed something up upon tring to get my amp to work. I didnt have a remote wire coming out of my alpine harness so i wired up my REMOTE WIRE to my BATTERY/CONSTANT 12V and it worked, but since its CONSTANT i wanted to wire a switch that turns blue when on. And i did this so i can turn on and off my amp myself.. This is where hell comes into play.. i cut some wire that i had laying around so i can test with it..

this is layed out so u can see how i did this stupid test (and i DONT EVEN KNOW IF I DID IT RIGHT!)

AS for the connection to the switch:
connected the SUPPLY VOLTS to BLUE- REMOTE WIRE(not in pic)
connected the ACC. spot to to constant
connected the EARTH GROUND to a piece of metal in where the cdplayer/radio fits into

Messed around with this setup and POP(SPARK) from what i can remember the EARTH GROUND wire... and NOW my CD PLAYER DOESNT TURN ON!!!! :evil: plug my Factory radio and that doesnt turn on!!

I checked the fuse on the back of the CD PLAYER, And 3 fuses for the truck, from in the owners manual has a listing for audio and radio.. and there all good

Is there another fuse thats for the radio but not listed in the book.. man i dont know what to do.

I dont even what to drive my truck for awhile, its my first Brand new vehicle and i go off and do something like this.. im soo upset and mad.. :cry:
