My power wire that’s connected to my fuse keeps burning up its happened twice what could be the cause of it?
Loose and poor connection. I do not see the fuse holder secured, as road vibrations and hitting Potholes create movement and stress on the wiring connection. One of the reasons to Fail. Use terminal Rings and an ANL Fuse for a more secure connection and screw the fuse holder down to keep it from moving.My power wire that’s connected to my fuse keeps burning up its happened twice what could be the cause of it?View attachment 50201
I leave approx 3-5" of play in the wiring connected to the battery for movement and to cut back and refresh the wiring if needed. and give approx.3-5" as well on the run. for the same.My power wire that’s connected to my fuse keeps burning up its happened twice what could be the cause of it?View attachment 50201
It’s 4 gauge wire , running from a 1200 - RP -1D star amp . I have 3 12” subwoofers hooked up I don’t know the size of the fuse. But I just purchased an ANL 300 A fuse and holder to replace it with.What is that power wire supplying? What size fuse is in it at the moment?

I would do 1/0 from batt to first lug connection with a 150 ANL fuse and run /cut back the damaged 4ga supply wire and place the 4ga ring on the second lug under the hood and 4 ga all the way back to another ANL Fuse holder & use 4ga of the run and use a 100 ANL fuse for that amp supply line as specs call for.It’s 4 gauge wire , running from a 1200 - RP -1D star amp .

150 for 4 ga should be ideal and specs call for a 100 for the ampPulling 300 amps thru 4awg is a good way to start a fire.
Over-fusing is the absolute last thing you want to be doing. You will very probably never open a 100A fuse and you would probably rarely open an 80A.I just purchased an ANL 300 A fuse
