[QUOTE="wew lad, post: 8628764, member: 665412"] I would for sure try a 250a or 300a fuse I mean, how hot are we talking? If it's warm leave it alone, mildly hot after a LONG listening session at loud volume leave it alone. If it's nearly too hot to touch you need to start getting worried. Are the wire holes completely filled up? Mushroom the end of the wire a little bit and really torque down the wire and the fuse terminal. Check it after a few hours or a day, the wire will give a little bit and need to be torqued again. Get the absolute best connection you can and it's not enough, then spend money on upgrading. Are you measuring voltage at the amp inputs btw? edit: just read how hot you said it was, as long as your voltages at the amp inputs are good don't worry about it man [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
