Fuse block melting

[Apocalypse boy 10+ year member]

On the way to best buy for a keyboard, the bass on my car without me turning down the volume kind of like did it by itself. Sort of like when the fuse blows. But i check it and everything is good, so i turned the car off, and turned it on and everything was working. But i did not turn it up because i wanted to double check everything in the morning. But i get this rumbling sound even when the volume is at 0 so i know everything was still working. Now when i wake up in the morning half the fuse block is melted and part of the wire and the amp wont even turn on. What could've happened?

nahh it's one of these q-power fuse holders but the damage on yours looks exactly the same as mine. About one inch of the wire melted and the same damage one side of the fuse block itself, with no melting on the other side...

A loose connection will cause heat buildup.
