JBL Speaker Question

George King · From: Woodlawn,Illinois

Recently while playing a late 70's webb amp on the job the speaker shorted out ,causing problems to the amp.I beleive there's been talk of this on here before ,but I couldn't find a direct answer.Someone ask me if I had a fuse between the amp and speaker witch I don't.The speaker was a K-130 4 ohm.My question is should I be installing a fuse to the speaker on all of my older shobud and fender amps as well to prevent this from happening if something happens to the speaker on them?How should I go about this with what amp fuse?Thanks George

Most amps don't have a fuse in the speaker line. The problem of shorted speakers doesn't happen often enough to make them add a fuse (which might not protect the amp, anyway). Some amps have some protection circuitry built into the power amp, but this doesn't always work, either!

Grin and bear the price of an amp repair once in awhile...it's part of being a "hot" guitar player!
