oh thats right!!! Richard no wall installs all smoked last year. there were flames and sparks too!

I was going to ask if Richard's installs counted, because there's a LOT of burning SPL cars (but none of them were loud LOL)

Don't forget Nicole's Alternator and various wires that caught fire one time at a dB Drag in the Groove Fx Audio.

I dont like picking on Richard... but... he does give a new meaning to the name Ligtning Audio [img]smile.gif[/img]

I had some problems last year Driving down to Calgary for finals. The Mini has such a choppy ride that an gromet worked it self loose in the factory installed wiring. So fast and hot that the fuse just well didn't work. The cabin filled with " magic " smoke real fast. Got the problem sorted out and repared before the show like it never happened.

So the answer is yes, bad wiring does cause fires.

hmmm.... where do u see bad wiring?

Sounds to me like it was proper wiring using a gromett and everything caused a fire. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

accidents cause fires... not bad wiring.

I've seen a car where the wiring harness for the deck caught on fire but had nothing to do with the wiring or the install.

Fuses dont guarantee that there wont be a fire. They are meant to burn up when excess current passes through, but some take more time. By that time, you got a fire. I had 200amps going through a 150 amp fuse and didnt blow.. also had 30amps going through a 10amp fuse and didnt blow. So then what wrong with this situation.
