412 CVX Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 i've got a theory and it's probably incredibly wrong seeing that nobody's thought of it before (at least to my knowledge)... but anyways, if fuses are meant to protect amps from drawing too much power, could the same idea be applied to prevent subwoofers from blowing? if some subwoofers blow because they're given too much power, couldn't you (in theory) place a fuse between the amp and the sub to prevent them from seeing too much power? i'm aware that a lot of the time clipping and other factors like box tuning can contribute to a blown subwoofer, and that's one reason why i'm skeptical. i think if this theory worked it would be a decent fail-safe for some applications. anyone else have thoughts or other input on this? attempted diagram: [amp]-----<fuse>-----(woofer) Quote Just say no to Ground Pounder Customs. My temp system build log More box buildssome cars do over 170db with one sub, so clearly my two 12"s can do that in my car, with my knowledge too! look out bitches! I'm with captain stupid.

bumonskateboard6 Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Not a DC signal it's an AC. Fusing that way wouldn't work.

Low voltage doesn't blow amps. That's a myth. A router that does the sub holes makes rounded edges also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

412 CVX Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) i guess i don't know enough about DC vs AC signals to really argue anything, but is there a way or product out there that might work in this situation? like maybe a household fuse in a surge protector?

dolarbilz Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 I believe jvc aresenal subs have fuses as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACnonsence6 Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 pyle did a thing with fuses to but the thing with a fuse is if a hard bass note hits something ur sub could take for just the small period of time the fuse would just blow. if that makes sence? Quote I picked up an MTX Sw1212 powered subwoofer today. This thing sounds amazing. 130 watts, 12" woofer with a passive 12" woofer tuned to 27 hz. Moving the pictures on the walls and my girl got wet from the bass when i showed her haha. Tonight should be good haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
