svs power lead
Hi,
Just recieved a pb2+ and got a two pin plug.
The 3.15A fuse in the subwoofer blew.
What fuse should I use in the plug of a new lead?.
Will a 3A fuse be ok to replace in the subwoofer?.
Thanks for any info you can give.

I just chopped the end off my 2 pin and wired a 3 pin with 3/5a fuse (can't remember which) when my PC+ arrived. If replacing an internal fuse just make sure it's not bigger then the original.
Definatly says 240v on the amp panel? (Don't think they've ever got it wrong but worth checking  ).
Email Tom @ SVS for confirmation, they're usually around at the weekends and quick to help with any issues. |

My pb2 arrived this week too :D
I just used one of my old pc power wires (the "kettle" type), I've had no problems as of yet.

Hi,
Latest so far.Got 3a not 3.15a for the sub and 3a and 5a for the power lead.When I use the 3a in the power lead it blows but the sub fuse is ok.When I use the 5a in the power lead it will not blow but the sub fuse will.Any thoughts appreciated.
Wolfeh glad your pb2+ is fine.Is it as good as the reviews say.

Does sound like a fault mconn. Although it sometimes works I reconmend you DON'T try any bigger fuses in the amp till you've talked to TomV. Normally they'll talk you thru some diagnostic steps and then either suggest a fix or send you a replacement part with details on how to fit it.

Hi,
Just a quick question to all svs owners what amp fuse is in your power lead and what amp fuse is written on the back of the subwoofer?.

Both my SVS subs have 2.5 Amp fuses in them. The power leads have none as they are 2 Pin euro plugs. |

Hi,
Thank for all your help on this forum.
The amp was the problem.
SVS gave me the choice of new amp or new sub.Went for the amp.Would have been nice not to have a problem but their service after I had a problem was the best.
They value you as a customer.
What more can you say.
Regards,
mconn
