[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8718059, member: 614752"] Because smaller fuses are easier to fit on a board, they are cheaper, easier for a consumer to find, and likely the connectors are cheaper, and multiple smaller fuses is considered to be safer than one giant one as they should open faster in the event that they're needed. With the exception of the latest Zed designs and old school multichannels (which were multiple different amp boards in the same heatsink) pretty much all amps just use one power supply so the separate fuses aren't typically for separate power supplies but reflect total consumption of the amp as needed for the one power supply [/QUOTE]
