Default power problem i think....

so i noticed this today on my amp and im guessing it cant be good.Im not sure whats causing it either,i had my fuse in my powerwire kinda do the same thing but i was able to clean it off and reuse it so maybe that has something to do with it.My voltage seems to be fine so i dont really know what to check...i have my 4channel amp and my monoblock but the 4channel seems to be fine.

Thats hot.

Are you blowing fuses or anything, or is the wiring just overheating?

Are your grounds solid, is any ground touching a power somewhere along the line, maybe a nick in the wiring somewhere grounding.

If your fuses are fine it's probably not a ground issue.

im about to go check all the fuses but im pretty sure they are all ok...the 4channel power wire comes off the same as the monoblock but the wire on the 4channel is fine though so i dont know....I know where all the grounds are at and im pretty sure they arent touching anything...so i dont know stu i might be overlooking something.

its a 4channel and a monblock.....if you count the total fuses on the amps its adds up to 210 so im not sure.The grounds are pretty good still.

A potential for 210amp pulling thru a 120 amp fuse... simple math. You fortunate not to have had a fire.
The fuse at the battery 250amp min. Take an 2 g min. to a fused dist. block. At the dist block fuse just ABOVE the amps fusing.
