So first off, I just want to let you know that I had no idea which form to post this one, so I thought why not here, being that I know nothing about fuses and stuff :D.

I'll cut to the chase though. I have recently acquired a sweet subwoofer (for free might I add), and it is all awesome and what not, except for that it didnt have a fuse. So I ordered some off amazon (T2A 250v), but they won't fit. They are too loose, and I guess there is not a solid connection between the connectors on either side. I will post pictures in a short while to help further explain, but I just wanted to know if I need some sort of adapter or something to make them fit.

Thanks! Drew
 
Yes originally they were about an inch or so ..... now they are about a half inch or so.
Smaller circumference as well!
So the new ones fit loosely in the old fuse holder.
 
I was gona say or missing a spring. But the spring would normally be held behind the tail piece most likely (not where it would fall out I guess.

..And they didn't change the friken number?
Gee thanks. :rolleyes: (..not you :D
 
Where did you get the spec for the fuse?

250v doesn't sound right.

How about posting the make and model of the sub?
 
Well when I got it, there was a little spring inside, but when I put the new fuse in, it still didn't work, so I figured it was just a random spring (I take it I was wrong). It says on the back though, 2TA 250V, and there's a triangle around it. The sub is an MTX Audio. No idea the model, it's 180w though.

Your 120 volt stuff is x amps at 250v. Next jump (maybe there are others secialties?) is 600volt (460 volt apps for example.
Has more to do with an insulation class I believe.

Learn something new every day.
 
Well if this is truly your case you can still get the old size just look around locally at different places (possible radio shack)or look on line.
 
Alright cool! I found some 6mm x 32mm ones on amazon. I'd that what I'm looking for?

??? what ???

This must be a UK spec that's why it's 250v not 120, the 2a refers to it being a 2 amp and there will be another value stating the speed it will blow.

How many Americans does it take to change a fuse? No wonder no-one believes you muppets put a man on the moon
