Smell like of greasy cables with longer operation at large volume

Hi, I bought myself a power amplifier (blue point 4100B), speaker and a Bas tube about 1 week ago. It happened to me three times now that when I turn up the music (music comes from an iPod = MP3 player with headphone output) after a few minutes a swarm of rotting cables comes to me (possibly through the ventilation, or at least with the airflow). I then of course always immediately turned off the music. The smell is then immediately gone, and comes The “normal” music operation can be continued without any problems. Now my question: Can someone explain the smell differently than by overloading a cable? (For the power supply I took a cable with 10mm^2 transverse cut; for the power amplifier is recommended according to instructions at least. 6mm^2) I can hardly imagine that this cable heats up so much. The only cable that could otherwise be the “remote” connection. However, since I do not use a car radio built, but only the iPod, I have built in a switch and what as a “remote-connection” to the back to the power stage goes via the switch at the normal current surge for the car radio. On this circuit also 2 LEDs are attached as control lights, whether the power stage is on. (Parallel, not in series switched) But here should only minimal current flow, right? the LEDs will not make it out, and the power stage still shows over the remote connection Power. Does anyone know advice?
