[QUOTE="maniackilla, post: 302279, member: 548976"] what would happen if u ran a good 100 amps thru an 8awg non fused wire? will *eventually* each of the threads burn into? i remember when i FIRST got my amp hooked up after rewiring it all and i went to crank my car and POOF!!!! smoke rolled form the engine and i almost wanted to cry. turns out the 4guage wire from my alternator to my starter *i think* burned right into and was so hot it remelted itself back togethe ron each end and the wire was hot from that point, to my battery, down my power wire *about 10-15 ft total* come to find out it was a complete coincidence.
