If you are attaching the deck's ground(black wire) to the metal chassis, you should have a good ground. Are you using a harness to adapt the decks wire to the factory harness? Those are like $10-15 and work great!

 

yes i did attach to chassis and still didnt work
i was usin a harness
but the ground wires didnt connect so i tried it just from deck
and it still doesn work

 

It doesn't sound like the ground is your problem. There is no better ground than the chassis itself. If you are blowing fused, then there is a short somewhere. I would look for a uninsulated wire that may be hitting the chassis behind the deck. If you don't find anything, then I would say check for continunity(with a volt/ohm meter) between the ground and each wire you made a connection to.
