Fuse could have gone if you accidently touched the live to the cars bodywork. The best place for the earth: open up the access panel to the passenger side rear light, look in and to the right and there is a factory earthing point. Undo the nut and add your earth from your amp on top of the other factory earth wires. Then tighten the nut back up.
To check if your fuse has gone take the fuse out and look at it. It'll either be all burnt so you wont be able to see anything or the metal in the fuse will have melted. Remember theres not just the inline fuse to check, there also the fuse(s) in the amp
