will they go louder

Hello,

I just installed new electonics and tested them on my Maggie 3.5 speakers. Sounded great until I blew both fuses with the tweeters (my son turneed the volume up beyond what I'd listen to - the tweeters are OK still - not harmed).
Does anybody know if the new Maggie 3.7 or old 20.1 will go louder in the tweeter range without blowing fuses?

Best wishes,
Chris

Not a rock&roll speaker...if your has the son need to turn it up very loud? Then I suggest a pair of Klipsch speakers for him.

It would be cheaper to upgrade your fuses.... go with 10 amp slow blows. Get rid of your son as well.

This might appear silly, but is your amp powerful enough?

You might add the small 1 watt resistor to the tweeters in your speakers.
The added resistance might be the difference for you.

As for the insane suggestion to boost the fuses to 10 amp slow blow.. Well, I hope the poster realizes just how dumb that idea is.
Hope he was just suggesting a 'joke'. as to actually do it would certainly lead to ruining the tweeter.
And the 20.1 certainly would play louder than any 3 series.

Stay with the proper fuse. They used it for protection, and it worked!
