really.. melting power wires??? you were obviously running too small of a gauge wire to the amp. Fosgates are power hungry and have strict specs on what power wire to use.. So sounds like your shop doen't know what they were doing. Or you were being extremely stupid by cranking brand new speakers past distortion immediately after installation. And another tid bit, Rockford has been on the market since 1999 and have produced some pretty decent amplifiers since..
