No offense, but if you're not sure what a fuse looks like you're probably best off taking it to someone who does. It's more likely that a fuse is blown than that the amp is damaged, but it could be both. There's absolutely no way for anyone on this forum to tell for sure.

I fixed it lol, I blowed a inline fuse and didnt see the box because it was between the rear seat enclosure.

What are some possible cause's of this happening?

There's one. The amp drew more current than the fuse was rated for.

As far as why the amp drew that amperage, there are tons of possibilities.
