[QUOTE="ajm, post: 8603932, member: 564003"] I wanted to share these pics and what you guys thought. Cause, effect, etc? Just a little back story. This is used in a race car application- im no longer into car audio. The wire is 1/0 CCA from a very reputable wire supplier that is talked about/used a lot. Id rather not mention the name as im not here to bash them or attempt to for that matter. The burned wire pictured is a short 3-4' run that goes from the alternator (130a) to the main fuse box, then from the feeds back to the battery. The burned area is on the alternator end lug so to speak and was burned about 1-1.5" back. There was zero damage to the jacket, which was also covered with a heat shield type sleeve. The damage was contained to the inner 75-80% of the wire, the strands on the outer diameter were not effected. I noticed this because I decided to rewire the car and replace all power/ground wires with 2/0 SGX wire, found that the pictured area was very stiff so cut the wire open and below are the results.
