[QUOTE="Deiimos, post: 8759376, member: 682903"] Yeah that melted fuse holder is not great and I highly suspect its terminals just didn’t have enough tension on the fuses legs, leading to resistance / overheating. Off brand fuses are also bad at melting / overheating. That Kicker holder would probably work fine. I think I prefer the ring terminals / ANL holders where the bolt clamps it all together tightly as mentioned. I have a hydraulic crimper to put on ring terminals and have always had solid connections doing it like that. But if the wire fits the holder properly, the set screw style like that Kicker should work okay, just have to get the wires in right and tight. [/QUOTE]
