My Sony XM-405EQX has one. I cannot seem to find a replacement in any parts store. It is not the large style blade fuse, nor the round glass design. It is a standard blade type and is orange in color. Any ideas where to find one?

Very interresting. I can honestly say that I've never seen a 40 amp standard-size blade type fuse. The highest I've ever seen is 30. Willie, out of curiosity, what gauge wire is used with the fuse holder? I've never seen a blade type fuse holder use anything larger than 12 gauge. Thanks.

jim they do make them and i see them very often in the car audio world. the new compustar car alarm has it as there main fuse as well as many new car audio amps.

 

Jim,

The fuse is mounted in the side of the amp, not in a fuse holder.


Chris,

You've got mail. Thanks for the offer.

Jim, I've seen them around here and there. I think the larger Jensen amps come with them.

Willie, we have a bunch of them at Best Buy where I work. I can send you some if you want too. But I'll bet you could get away with using a 30-amp for a while.

 

Wow! I never knew there was one made! Personally, based on the size of the terminals, I don't think I would ever want one! That size of terminal is usually one good for 30 AMP, and I personally wouldn't use it for more than 25 AMP. I don't even like the fact that my Kicker amps use them, even the DX700 with 3 of them.

Now that I'm done spouting off, I'm glad to see you've found help! The people around here are great most of the time (although some of us are VERY opinionated!)
