[QUOTE="Old_Slapper, post: 8891073, member: 690458"] Back in 1999, Rockford came to our shop and asked why their fuse holders were melting. They told us they would give free hats and shirts to the first person to tell them. I quickly raised my hand and told them it was because they are sending the inline fuses pre-connected to the power cable and installers are not checking the tightness of the set screw. I got my gear and Fosgate started adding Allen-wrenches with their amp kits. In 2002, Best Buy sent out a mass email to all the installers warning them to be careful with the plastic inline fuses because there are many reports that they are melting. I responded by telling them it's because of the loose connection. In a nice way, they basically told me to shut up and wait until they figure it out. I replied with what happened in 1999 and how a poor connection causes heat. I then told them that is why the kits come with the Allen-wrench. They called Fosgate to verify my story and they said it was true. They sent me more gear. LOL... [/QUOTE]
