#14 can handle 15 to 20 amps without getting hot, you are pulling 60 or more here, #22 maxes out at about 2 amps... get a larger piece of wire, 14 is a nice size fuse, it WILL get hot with that load on it, but it will not melt in 30 seconds. I would put in some 12, it's rated for 20 to 25 amps, and will not get as hot as quickly. #22 phone cord is just WAAAAAYYYY too small for the 60 or so amps that 6 GP's pull.
