if his grounds were bad, there would be less current flow. Now if theres a bad connection in the fuse block itself, that could lead to arcing which could melt the block.

If his amp is pulling too much current, he needs a higher ohm load.

You got the right size fuse, and it's not to small? Do you have any corroded or loose or poorly crimped connections?
