Bronze Member Username: Naledge503Portland, Oregon U.S. Post Number: 77 Registered: Jun-06 | I just googeled maxi fuse, but that is a fuse you put into the amp. what i mean is there is no fuse terminal. there is nowhere to insert a fuse into the amp. by the way thanks for the compliment Julio. |

Bronze Member Username: Naledge503Portland, Oregon U.S. Post Number: 79 Registered: Jun-06 | haha, i shot that video the day after i put the amp in. i havent had a chance to adjust the gains or anything. i noticed that it was missing some notes too. I'm gonna adjust it then put another video as soon as i can. i get very little time cause of work and my kids. hopefully it will be sooner than later. |

My older Zed Audio Optidrives don't have fuses either, I know some nice, older PG stuff doesn't use fuses. Supposedly that PA amp has "4-way protection", so it should protect itself if need-be. |
