Bob, Seeing you on several threads. I'm not moved yet and it will be some time before I do the new setup. I'll start with the small bubble stuff as it will look better.joe 
Details on wiring my house for sound
Bob,Yes, mine have the spring in them and are slow blow. I'm going to remove them and go with regular fuses. I will search for ceramic 20 amp fuses (my 84 year old dad may have some as he has a fuse panel). Anybody else got a source?
