How to fuse bypass in Magnepan 1.7i


Anyone bypassed the fuse on a 1.7i specifically? I read that it's a simple move of the wires but this wasn't the case for me. As you can see in the first photo, the yellow wire connector is stamped to the fuse box, and the yellow wire crimped on pretty tight. I gave it some decent force and it wasn't budging.

I've also heard the Cardas small post works fine, but again this wasn't the case for me. The Cardas post was slightly too large in diameter for the Magenepan wire connector to fit over.

Anyone who has done this and could offer some guidance as to how you accomplished it?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks @imhififan ! I tried getting the spade connector off but will give it a hold with pliers. Need to source some male connectors as well. Will report back!

If the black wire and the yellow wire are using same size female connector, and if you want to bypass the fuse and jumper/attenuator altogether, you can use a 3 way adapter to connect both black and yellow wire to the upper negative binding post.

Interesting. Does anyone have photos of what this all looks like before and after? Difficult to visualize what’s going on here.
