I recently added a amp and 12" sub to my boat along with a deep cell battery for just powering the amp. The amp is a kicker IX702. I have it wired with 10 gage power and 10 gage ground, The power wire has a 30 amp inline fuse that on my recent outing on the boat i noticed when I was back home the fuse holder and fuse itself were melted but still working. Just looks like a fire hazzard waiting to happen. My question is do i need bigger wire and fuse. As of right now the use is on the side of the wire by the battery. would it matter of the location on the wire where the fuse is?
