Default Audio System Question for all you guys!

my borther has a denali with some cerwin vega 15 woofers and three tvs set up inside his truck. he is runnig 0 gauge wires for positive and ground but on the side where the positive connects to the amplifier, which is a boss 3000w, the connection seems to be melting whenever he is really bumping the system. So any suggestions as to whether wat it could be any help would be appreciated>>>???? thanks

The amp has three 25 amp fuses on it and he's had that amp running for a couple years now so it might be giving up already then

A grounding power cable can cause melting or a wire so small for your power output. check the amp on a bench tester or swap it with another one to rule out the amp. Check all of your external wires and that they are no bare or touching bare metal.

I had the same problem only with other 'vendor'.You need to check it out all of your cables, wires, or better to change all these for high-quality stuff.
Its not enough to have high-tech audio system if your cables/wires are chinese...
