kingsuv Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 right but the fuse still should have blown No because it is not a grounding issue. A fuse will blow when too much amperage is drawn through it. In this case the proper amount of amperage is trying to get through a weak spot in the holder. The weak point and/or bad connection in the holder is creating the heat and causing it to melt. Designing, building, and shipping boxes.

I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emperorjj1 Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 that makes sense. but doens't the fuse actually blow due to the metal heating up and burning. hence why most non car audio fuses have both a voltage and amperage rating J.

It can get to a point where it will melt the fuse. You can see a good amount of heat even without much amperage. Say his fuse was 300 amps, but the current draw was only about 100 amps. Then the weak spot in the fuse holder was good enough to allow 50 or so amps to pass the weak spot. As it tries to draw more then the 50 amps it will create heat. It's no different then using too small of wire. Designing, building, and shipping boxes.
