In Reply to: Are There Ceramic Fuse Alternatives to HiFi Tuning for Maggie 3.6 ... posted by pete1 on September 14, 2010 at 08:32:10:
I run fuseless so I can't comment on fuse types. However the problem is not so much with the fuses but the fuse holders which use steel to conduct the signal. I know you are not ready to lose the fuses just yet, but the mid-driver is pretty much bullet proof and the fuse can be safely by-passed. The tweeter is a bit more delicate and several inmates can testify that it is an excellent protector of the fuse rather than the other way around.
What I would recommend is getting a pigtail fuse (caution most pigtail fuses are slow-blow and you need to use a regular or fast-blow for any protection). You can then solder to the leads by-passing the fuse holder.
