Ok, I've got a 12" Acoustic Profiles sub, and yes, you probably haven't heard of them. My dad bought it about 8 years ago, and about a year after we moved into our current house (been here about 6 years) the fuse blew, and it hasn't been used since. I asked him if i could have it if i fixed it and he said yeah. So its my mission to fix it. I removed the plate amp from the back to take a look at the fuse. It looks blown to me :(. Just below it, printed on the PCB it says 0.6A 250VAC. I have absolutely no idea which fuse to buy. Also, on the back, it says 120V-60HZ 0.6A. Would you guys be able to point me in the right direction?

Is it a solder in fuse, or a clip in buss (glass tube) type? You can toss in a 0.75A standard fuse and it will be fine.

BTW, where's Bullwinkle? or yo Adrian

Hahah. I hope its the movies cause they kick butt.

My subwoofer blew a fuse a while back. Its possible that there is a short somewhere on the PCB. If not just take the broken fuse into radioshack and show them the fuse and they'll match the fuses.
