My son (7yrs) cranked the volume Blew the fuse for the tweeter. It's a 1amp - 250V fuse. I purchased the speakers used and want to know if this is the proper size fuse.

    Mine have a 0.75 amp 250V fuse - the original ones from 1984!

    Not sure if 0.25 amps really makes a difference due to the manufacturing variance, but I would go with the original value since they're cheap and you have to replace it anyway.

    BTW, I'm thinking about getting rid of mine altogether and soldering in a wire connector. I've never blown one, and I've had them cranked pretty good over the years...:biggrin:

    I believe it was a .75 amp 250v fuse for the peerless tweeters and a 1.0 amp 250v fuse for the SL2000 tweeter.

    In either case you should be fine but I believe there was a different fuse in each.
