[QUOTE="djdilliodon!, post: 8845708, member: 684299"] Being that you are running just 1200w my bet is you are running CCA wire and it’s just not holding up. Any parts of CCA wire that are exposed to the elements will fail in time. This kind of wire is pure junk and has no place in car audio for power wire imo. Gonna have to change that run of 4ga to ofc wire. Edited to add: CCA wire when used with dissimilar metals like copper for lugs or fuse blocks will actually fail even faster. The aluminum never wins that battle and when water gets on it, it will eventually powder out or turn into milky white mush [/QUOTE]
