With few details given,the only thing i can think of to draw so much current off the positive without blowing fuses is the starter motor,assuming your battery terminals are clean.Do you have any other accessories wired straight off the battery?

a hot battery rod is extremely odd. u would have to be draining huge amounts of current for that to happen. a fuse should blow before u over heat the battery!! is the alternator hooked up the right way??? im stumped!

water in the battery?? are the vents in the battery blocked??? scchee!

i took it to the auto electrician...dirty battery terminals (thank god nothign major)

and yeh my subs run off my battery and they drain alot. so that may have been the reason it was hot, i thought though it short circuted something :P

im just glad it wasnt the starter motor hehe coz thats alot mroe than 20 bucks.

i wonder whats gonna go wrong next now hehe

The build up on the batt terminal was forming a high resistance joint which is why it was gettin hot.Its like replacing the batt wire with a smaller one,smaller cable= higher resistance=more heat generated(without boring u with the maths).Make sure the subs are fused appropriately & they wont be a problem(fire hazard that is).
