Ayork Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 I have bolts that pass current thru the box and have come to notice that the negative bolt is getting hotwhile the positive isnt. Also have the subs wired out of phase. My question is should the bolts get hot? Plus i noticed that i didnt tighten the bolts enough in the beginning and about started a fire.
