if the amp wire is too small then the wire would fry not the fuse.. i think? haha..

which fuse? the inline power one? or the one on the amp itself.

That last one is not very likely.
A 10mm and a 14mm will pull apart an entire yota

true story

and as far as the amp wire melting...if you have a 100 amp fuse on 8 ga power wire I have seen the fuse block will melt because of the heat of too much current running through too small of a wire...think about drinking through a coffee stir or through a regular straw

The fuse that was in the actual amp. I looked at it when I got it and it looked fine. Maybe it just got to hot back there for it. I +rep'd everyone that helped btw

^Look up the amp manual/specs and make sure you have the right fuse in there. Sometimes people like to just throw in random fuses when they pop.

On the amp where the fuse goes it says 40a so I put in another 40a, but I'll look it up or try to. I bought it slightly used from a guy up here awhile ago lol

oh ya, make sure the inline fuse is rated according to the power cable. Not your power/current goals necessarily.
