What type of fuse is in the amps power lead, [type not size]

What gauge is the amps power and ground leads?

How long is the amps ground lead and where and how is it grounded?

Is the CompXR a DVC 2 ohm or 4 ohm, and how are the VCs wired? 94

It does not sound like a wiring issue, [but how about the ground] so that leaves only the amp itself, [it will not be the sub IMO]. 94
