  2. Major System Problems!!!

    fuse holders usually melt because the fuse gets so hot it melts the plastic casing. this can be caused by running rated power, or close to, through a fuse. example: pulling 50 amps of current through a 50 amp fuse. i hope you put a fuse in the fuse holder that matches the size of the total fuse amount on the amp.

    either its that that caused the melting, or a short on the power wire SOMEWHERE along the run of wire.

    edit: jl_audio reminded me of something. if the wire isnt tightened down STRONG on the fuse holder on both ends, resistance will cause the wire to heat up alot.

    I was using a eighty amp fuse in my holder but there are 3 30 amps fuses on the amp = 90....can 10 less amps completely melt a fuse holder to a wire??? It was tightened very strong, I could not pull it off or tug the wire from it.

    I pushed down on both subs, they both pushed without a problem. And the voicecoils are still copper!!! But the blown one is out of phase and smokes. It was really hot when it came out of the box but my other woofer is fine. They are both on the same circuit is that possible to blow one and not the other?

    Ok guys I have had a horrible day with my audio. I have 2 inch Alpine Type R's wired to one ohm and a sundown saz-1000d amp. But today I was bumping for a short time for a parts run. I noticed my bass was not pounding like normal, I have had a problem with my box sliding around. Once my wires came out of my box while i made a hard turn, I fixed it asap. That was a few weeks ago and i havent had that problem sinc. But after I made my parts run I decided to check out my box to see whats up. I left the music on a high volume and as soon as I opened my trunk I smelled burning and looked at my subs to see one out of phase and blown. When I got home I checked over everything,my wiring the same no change everything connected good. Then I cut my car off then went isinde, then came back to turn it back on...my amp would not turn on. I checked the rcas and all 3 fuses and it was all fine. Then I opened the hood to check my inline fuse, my fuse holder itself. My fuse holder began to melt itselff to my power wire on both ends!! The fuse inside was not blown but the fuseholder and wrie began to melt together. I switched to a different fuse holder same type and fuse and my amp worked. So I have a fucked up unusable fuse holder and a blown sub. I am more worried as to why the holder melted, anyone have any insight or advice???

    edit: I took my subs out of the box when i got home. The voicecoils in both subs are still shiny as hell. But the one that I think is blow is hot to the touch and stinks, But both look fine...

    Sup SMDF, I guess this is somewhat of an intro about myself. The name is Mike, car audio noob and kottonmouth kings fan. I just started getting into car audio and shit so forgive me if i am droning. But here is my freshly made youtube channel showing all my shit that I'm learning about car audio and my ride. I am sort of self teaching myself so bear with me. But my ride is a 1995 Honda Accord EX, 1 of five cars I've had. Mommy and daddy don;t payt for shit so don't worry. But heres the shit for my audio and my youtube channel which i update alot with unboxing vids and after install vids..being self taught I still make mistakes and shit takes longer than usual so I won't do during instal vids. But anyway

    My install

    2 Alpine Type-R SWD-1242s wired at 1 ohm

    Premade ported box from Audio shop

    1 Sundown saz1000d for subs

    2 Alpine Type-R 6x9s in rear deck

    Alpine CDA-9886 HU with 8gig ipod nano

    4 Alpine 6 3/4 Type R doors Speakers (not installed yet)

    and other shit.Not bad for a 18 year old who is buying and doing everything himself right?

    Sorry if its alot to read heres my channel. I haven't updated lately because I had to send amp back and didnt even get to work subs :shrug: . Jacob should be shipping it back in a few days..magicaly blown fuses FTW!!

    sorry for the long post.
