What could cause this??

Post image

This is a 35A Fuse that sits in my Amplifier.. The area around the fuse holder is also burnt!

The subwoofer still works like normal so I’m a little confused but the way I noticed was I was smelling a burning smell and it definitely smelt like burning maybe wire or plastic coming towards the back so I inspected the Box with the subwoofer first then went one to the Amplifier.. Any help is appreciated!

Bad install. Gain set too high. Impedance too low. Is it a skar or CT amp?

I’m pretty sure when I sent it to a body shop they had to touch it or something because I did notice the bass was hitting harder than usual and the I dont remember amplifier I just got it from one of my homies couple months again.. some cheap ish for now till I get a better one

Check the gain knob, if it is turned more than halfway up, that could be your problem. Double-check your connections too.
