Kyblack76 Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Nope... Never heard of it., and with all the fuse popping and melting going on with all the amps in question.. I'll chose to stay away from every one of them... 4 fuses, and every single socket lose??..causing a melt down? Again., I'll pass on those... OP gl with the findings.. Edit- guess what I'm saying is there has to be more to the story....

Geardropper Posted November 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Lol the 4 40s are what they come with it was a very powerful amp.had been bumping for 1yr with no issues then yesterday this happened and fked it up big time.and yes again like I said it was 0 gauge everything. Big 3 in 0 power in 0 ground in 0 all ring terminals had also been soldered to cap which none of this hAd melted just the fuse and fuse holder had on the amp it's self.the amp costs alot and if I can't get it and the problem fixed I will be giving up in car audio.... Cost 2 much.. But I do love bass idk I'm so lost and unclear on what my issue is Red light rev ya engines..light goes green u take off, petal to the floor.I take it slow but some how seem to catch up with u at he next red.So u think u can do it again.light goes green you stall..i put my foot down just to show u what fast really looks like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmike Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 just throwing this out there , even know your connections are tight , its posible your wires could have corrosion within the jacket, causeing the fuse holders to get hot, do the wires get hot,how old are the wires, like someone elese said if it was a short a fuse would have blown, bad connections and bad wire can cause heat, to melt thing together, could check for resistance in the power and ground wires, hope you find the answer for your problem. 2007 trailblazer lthead unit- pioneer p4300dvd crescendo ft-1 supertweeters pioneer m650 pros audiocontrol 2xs crossover Rockford fosgate p200-2 highsrockford fosgate p400-2 mids1- fi btl 18amps- saz 3500battery- evermax in front, 2 9a31 dekas in rearwires all knuconceptz 1/0 and rcas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnderLoK Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Open the amp and look for stuff that is burned up. If the amp is damaged then more than likely the problem started at the amp rather than at the power source or the ground. I normally disconnect things before taking it in for service. I would guess the guy working on it either beat the piss out of it, shorted something out under the hood, or the like. Hopefully I didn't miss you already talking about this, if so I apologize.

Geardropper Posted November 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 They won't because like I said they have been soldered and under the jacket is a normal looking right terminal.like I said before also the fuses in question are on the amp itself not the fuse on the power wire.power wire has a fuse fused at 150a and my melted fuses are 4x40a so that's 160 it total Red light rev ya engines..light goes green u take off, petal to the floor.I take it slow but some how seem to catch up with u at he next red.So u think u can do it again.light goes green you stall..i put my foot down just to show u what fast really looks like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiofanaticz Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Nope... Never heard of it., and with all the fuse popping and melting going on with all the amps in question.. I'll chose to stay away from every one of them... 4 fuses, and every single socket lose??..causing a melt down? Again., I'll pass on those... OP gl with the findings.. Edit- guess what I'm saying is there has to be more to the story.... Every socket doesnt have to be loose, just 1 lose socket alone will cause an increased amount of current going through the other 3 sockets which results in more heat, more heat will cause them to melt. Hell this even happened to a 4 channel Digital Designs amp of mine (and it still works after a new fuse being put in). But I guess thats the response from a person with an uneducated guess and dissing product they have no idea about, so everyone should boycott the Korean Buildhouse Zenon that makes a LARGE amount of the monoblocks that people are using today However how many times you tell people to check every piece of power ground wire they never do and say yea its tight without even putting a wrench on the terminal. Or claim their ground is fine, even tho its grounded to a seatbelt bolt or strut tower with self tapping screws, and no paint removed.. EDIT: anyways geardropper, what woofers are you using, how many woofers, what impedance are the voice coils? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m&c caraudio Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 I would like to see pics of your connections. Because when I usually see melted fuses its usually a chitty ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blownengine Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Fuses melted = BAD connection. fuses BLOWN = too much current or short ^^This. I have had this happen.
