[QUOTE="on1wheel01, post: 5869591, member: 598423"] Well I just put in my new set up. 2 12" dc sound labs level 3's powered by a alphasonik pma1200da running at 1 ohm (at a little under half gain). Now I had a cheapo ebay 200 amp circuit breaker and it kept popping it. So I bought a q power 250 fuse set up(the big fuse kind) and it goes fine. But today my wiring at the fuse got so hot(i assume this is the reason) it started to melt the red plastic rubber gromet on the wire clamp, and it came loose from the 4 gauge clamp. Now I am going to get a kinetik 1800 this weekend. But why is this happening, do I need to be running 0 gauge, will the batt stop this? And what is that the cause? Any ideas are appreciated [/QUOTE]
