If you got a kit, what happened to the ground wire?

i don't think the remote wire is thick enough. just go out and buy some wire to match the gauge on the power wire, it's not that expensive.

having a melting ground is definitly a BAD sign that something isint right.

always remmember: use the same gauge ground wire that you are using for your power. That kicker amp requires 8gauge power/ground wire, so use it!
