Seems that the 40A fuse that is in the fuse block going to my kx400.1 amp is getting melted from the top end that is coming from the battery. Nothing happens on the output end going to amp. Seems that solder that is within the casing of the fuse is being melted & drips out.

I have been through 3 fuses already. Fuse for the kenwood for mids/highs amp is ok. Nothing happens with that.

Anybody knows what I can do to remedy this? I have Rockford fosgate wiring 4 guage. Everything is 4 guage except for fuse block to kenwood amp...that is 8 guage.

Would it be ok to just run the wire from distro block to kx400.1 amp w/o fusing considering that the 4 guage is already being fused at 60A next to the battery?

Fuse is to protect the wire right? So it would mean for exception of the kenwood amp, all 4guage wiring is fused at 60A. Kenwood amp is fused from distro block at 30A.

Please help!
