Can someone please tell me how to replace the fuse on this thing?

Thanks!

If it is not on the back, it will be on the power supply board. You will have to open the case to find it.

Fuses usually blow for a reason; a serious fault. Only replace a fuse once, and with one of the same current rating. If the replacement fuse blows, take the unit in for service.

I learned something new today. I never thought about speakers having fuses in them. Good to know.

What the hell is the OP looking for fuses on a speaker for! I thought it must be a receiver or amp.

OP, if there is no sound coming from the speaker, check the speaker wiring, for a disconnect or short first.

If there is no short or disconnect, swap the speakers over. That way you can tell if it a failed amp or speaker. Dead speakers are very rare, so you likely have a failed amp and not a failed speaker.

I wasn't trying to poke fun at ya, TLS! :) At first, I thought, "speakers have fuses? huh?" However, after doing a Google search, I found links for speakers with fuses, so I figured that at least some speakers have them. I never found a link for fuses in those Yammy's, but I didn't search too long.

Actually some speakers did have fuses years ago. People fairly quickly realized it was a bad idea. The fuses greatly exaggerated thermal compression issues, also, to protect the voice coils the fuses had to be rated too low. It is too much continuous power that burns voice coils. So a fuse that would protect against excessive continuous power would blow on the peaks; very tiresome indeed.

The only speakers that are legitimately fused, are powered ones.
