Does changing the fuses on the amp hurt it?

Yeah I guess you can say it's a noobie question but...

if you change the fuses lets say 35's on an amp to 40's...

what happens to it?

It may melt the fuse to the amp.

Why would you do that?

Oh...

I'm asking this cuz the first time the amp blew or burnt the coil one of my subs I changed it to 40's cuz one of the fuses broke.....

and I don't know if that had any effect on this other sub I recently ****ed up.

My stupid friend told me to do it... when I was completely new to this.

plus I dont think I found any of those fuses in the small town I was in....

Switching the fuse from 35 to 40 isn't really a big deal. It didn't cause your other sub to screw up.

fuse size wont cause a coil to blow

it just means less protection for the amplifier. it will allow more current to pass through before it blows.

Wasnt upping the fuse size an old school way to get a little more power out of an amp?

Only if you were a stupid *** in the old school.
