there is probably a short somewhere. He might need to look into that first. Melted wires is a result of over current and with a 1000watts amp and 4awg wire, that usually shouldn't happen in a class D amp. Might happen in a current hogging class AB thoughMy friend has this amp installed in his truck and he told the fuse popped yesterday, he said it has an 80 amp fuse and he also is power wire had melted. I was wondering what would cause his power wire to melt?
