How to Fix a Jensen-Powered Subwoofer Fuse

Jensen-powered subs use fuses like these.

Powered subwoofers consist of an amplifier and a subwoofer, mounted in the same enclosure. Powered subwoofers, like the kind Jensen produces, are useful in car applications where space is limited. They are provided with user-accessible fuses for overload protection. You can change these quickly, if necessary.

Things You'll Need

• Replacement fuse
• Pliers (optional)

Instructions

1. Pull out the original fuse from the end panel of the amplifier. If the fuse is tight, grasp it with a set of pliers.

2. Purchase a replacement fuse at an auto parts store or electronics parts retailer. Note the fuse rating, which is marked on the fuse, and the style of fuse. Jensen uses a regular blade-style fuse, sometimes called an ATO fuse.

3. Insert the new fuse. Simply line up the metal blades with the opening and push it in firmly until it is securely seated in the fuse slot.
