WCA Rusty Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Loose connections? loose connections causes resistance and that causes alot of heat this would be the first thing i looked at DC AUDIO Phone Number 1(855)SPL-DBZZ Built by Competitors, for Competitors.

hispls Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Loose connection somewhere. That or a dead short is about the only thing that'll melt wires. (short of being grossly under-sized) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Posted May 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 To large of fuse!!? sonic electronics said because the BRX2400d has no external fuse that a 250 amp inline fuse is required as does the paperwork that came with the amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Posted May 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Did you sand down the ground on the frame? there is no ground to frame there are 2 runs of 0 gauge wire off the front battery to the powercell xs3400 in the trunk then from that to the amp with the fuse that melted on the power wire i have a uni-body car so no real frame to ground to one run goes through the firewall (the positive) and the other goes underneith the car in weatherproof flex conduit and comes in on the bottom of the trunk thru a hole i cut with of course a rubber grommet big 3 is done up front to with the factory shitty grounds replaced with 0 gauge and all other power related wire replaced or added on over top of with 0 gauge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyblack76 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 You still ground it, to a strut tower or something. Something decent. That said, if it didnt protect on you, or cut out... ground is OK. Ill bet the connections ON the fuse holder, sucked, or the fuse holder itself sucked.... if the connections suck, amperage goes up....
