why cant subwoofers be fused

[nauc 10+ year member]

to prevent overpowering

and also, something to keep them from moving beyond their mechanical limits

There is a few high power subs that do use fuses, Kenwoods flagship spl woofer has fuses, I don't really see the purpose though. You could try a cheap inline fuse holder on the positive speaker lead I don't know what sizes you would need though.

The spider and surround is whats used to limit excursion, somtimes they put dual spiders for added strength.

adding spiders doesnt necessarily make it stronger...changing the suspension (more/less, soft/stiff spider along with a beefier surround) changes the overall q of the driver...you change anything and its a different sub....take for instance the re hc, I could name 5 companies off the top of my head that use/used that motor...but all were "different" do to the susp...

and the fuse thing, some people run fuses on their speaker wires incase tinsel leads touch, preventing blown woofers and amps..most-likely what kenwood or whomever did

would that really work, is that what the Kenwood uses, basically

Ohm's Law would tell you...depends on what power level and impedance your amp was running at. Expect something in the 10-20 amp range though.

250 watts, 4 ohms

anyone know the equation

I get 8 amps.

But - all of this doesn't tell you how to set your amp's gain correctly, so you might not know how much power you're actually putting out //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif Use Ohm's Law for that, too.

why couldnt you slap on a 10 amp fuse and turn the gain up just before poppin the fuse
