Ignore it.. You should be fused at the amplifier if installed properly and at the main supply at the battery. That is not the correct terminal for car audio ssubs/ speakers.Thats either for Home Audio or as stated .. for a powered PA speaker systemSwampworks said:
If this is true and you're running >1200W amp you may be able to open any fuse that size. I'm sure that makes more sense on 8 or 16 ohm high voltage PA systems where a small fuse could possibly save your speakers.
I am with you 100%. In a car audio environment I think the fuse situation is well under control... no need for another at the speaker.
It's more of an issue that we really don't fuse subwoofers period since most can take quick bursts of way more than rated power (which many of us take advantage of) and because we generally run low impedance (high current), so even a 1000W amp could be popping 30A fuses.
Ive been around car audio since the mid 80s, and I can tellyou that Ive never encountered and inline fuse for and type of speaker wiring in the car audio world. my brother has been in music for years playing several instruments and making music with several different amplifiers from Marshall, Peavy,JBL,Line6,Gorilla, ect. Ive seen fuses in some those terminals. Dont remember in the Tube amps though
