[QUOTE="winkychevelle, post: 8804330, member: 611804"] Well if it's 4awg ofc of decent quality it would likely work since real 4awg is rated at 150amp. I suspect he is drawing over 100amps through the fuse holder but just under the threshold to blow the fuse causing the fuse to overheat It could be a loose connection Or my 100% pick for a guess is the 4awg kit he has is closer to 8awg and the 100amp fuse is oversized causing the wire to heat up at the point of most resistance. That being the fuse holder. This is really common with Walmart amp kits and people putting larger fuses because they popped to original [/QUOTE]
