User’s Manual K&F ‘SW’ Series Subwoofer Systems 7. Short Circuit Fuses in the K&F Subwoofer Systems 7.1 Risks of using High Performance Power Amplifiers In recent years, power amplifiers have achieved increasingly higher levels of perfor- mance. Some of them can be operated with low-impedance loads. There are, therefore, strong power amplifiers that can reliably work with impedances below 1 Ω.
User's Manual K&F ‘SW’ Series Subwoofer Systems 7.4 Replacement and Positions of the Short Circuit Fuses When the fuse is burned out, then the chassis is most likely already ruined, as the fuse just prevents consequential damage resulting from a short circuit of the chassis.
