I need to gert a new fuse for one of my Polk MOnitor 10A speakers and I do not know what size fuse to get.

I have seen different sizes mentioned for the Monitor 10A, such as .75 amp fast or 1 amp fast.
Does anyone know what is the correct fuse I need to get?

Thank you.

    I checked the fuse I took off of the speaker and it seems to say AGC 1 1/2 (one and a half). Could that be correct? That is much different than the .75 and 1 amp fuse that was mentioned elsewhere. However, it is hard to read what is on the fuse, of course. I'd appreciate it if anyone had info on the correct fuse I need to buy for the Polk Monitor 10A. Thanks,

    The schematic calls for a 1 amp fast blow fuse.

    Thank you. Yes you are correct. The correct fuse is a 1 amp fast blow fuse. I digged out the original manual that I was given with the speakers when I boght them a little over a year ago and it does say a 1 amp fast blow fuse. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to find the manual so I submitted this post. Funny thing is that the fuse that the prior owner had in them was a 1 1/2 amp fuse and not a 1 amp fuse. I went to Home Depot and bought 1 amp fuse.s because that is what it calls for. Should I change fuses in both speakers from the 1 1/2 amp fuses to the new 1 amp fuses? Does it make a difference? Thanks again for your posts,
