Tweeter protection


Hello, I have a few sets of B&W 800 series speakers and I'd like to install an inline fuse to protect my tweeters. My question is; should I go with 125v or 250v 1 amp fuse? Open to suggestions.Thanks

The amplifier provides clean power to the tweeter which is the best protection!

Tweeters usually get fried from excess energy due to amplifier clipping.

It must be that when I recalibrate my AVR, it's set to high.  

If you're using an AV receiver to power power-hungry B&W 800 Series speakers, set the crossover to "small speaker" and use the subwoofer for LFE to prevent amplifier clipping.
