My amp went it to protection when i was playing in the driveway today.

I check the amp. Amp wasn't too hot. I check the voice coils.....no scrapes. I check the terminal. My oh my! The terminals got so hot that the plastic melted and the terminals touched.

My friend who does custom car audio said those things are crap and showed me what he does to his boxes..... Hole+grommet+ wire the signial from the amp directly to the subs' voice coil terminal. I'll give that a try when i get home from work tomorrow.

I still dont see how the hell it melted like that. I was pushing my amp pretty hard but it's only an mtx 801D running at 70% gain to two kenwood base model 10's at 2 ohms mono.
