[QUOTE="rrob69ewf, post: 7189454, member: 629976"] sic audio.. first off happy b day... yesterday you showed up 38 if I'm not mistaken. beyond that i would agree that the fuse should work better but i would bet a dollar that the fuse holder itself is loose on the battery side or the fuse is loose in the holder. He made need a bigger fuse as well but the blame on this is heat generated most likely by arcing inside the holder where the wire attaches. Not looking at it its hard to tell but It should melt both sides if its just the fuse is a pos. Love to hear from the thread starter if that is the case or not. I am new to this site but not new to electrical issues and i agree experience is everything. btw 1/0 from everything I see is only rated at best 245amps(online page,questionable number) for automotive only good for 170(electrical code book) for distribution. If you actually use 250 you should upgrade. That wire would do a slow meltdown at that kind of amperage [/QUOTE]
