[QUOTE="knukonceptz, post: 4861794, member: 548221"] High current draw and wiggling do not make for a good combination. If this is something you installed months back, the bass or road vibrations may have vibrated your connection a bit loose. A loose connection may not have visable sparks or arcing, but because the connection is not tight, you get high resistance. Resistance creates heat, if excessive enough and if it is left alone long enough it can make enough heat to melt plastic. Once the block sustained some damage it probaly only got worse from there. If you can see or feel your power wire move when crimped or in a block, its a point of high resistance, causigng a loss in voltage and creating heat [/QUOTE]
