[QUOTE="spokey9, post: 8839791, member: 685744"] It was more than likely aluminum wire then and it takes roughly one size larger for aluminum to carry the amperage as copper... I'd double check your grounds are good just to be on the safe side but using better quality wire in the appropriate size and a quality fuse holder should fix the problem...looking at that amp it's a class ab so it's inefficient so it's gonna draw more power than a same size class d to output the same wattage...maybe 0g is what you need I'm not sure tbh...just use copper (ofc) this time around...
