    Fuse Replacement Guide

    I had a fuse blow on one of my old Suzukis once. An old fella stopped to help and gave me some foil paper from his cigarette pack and wrapped the fuse. I wonder what the foil paper is rated?

    I bought an SM58, EQ and Preamp dirt cheap last year and planned on hooking it up to my 2k. I will do the direct inject when I get time to mess it. I can't wait to move so I can put up a homemade moxon or beam. Glad it's working for you! Chris

    Amp install
