Anyone know what this is? It's not stated inside or outside the cab and Eden had me on hold for too long.

Eden D210XLT cabinet - fuse value?

If I am not mistaken that is a 350 watt cabinet at 4 ohms.
An amplifier that puts out 350 watts at 4 ohms will produce a 37.4 Vac RMS signal.
Voltage / Resistance = Current.
37.4 / 4 = 9.35 amps.
That is the maximum current that the speakers will want to see.
An 8 amp fuse should fit the bill.
Go lower if you want to play it safe.

Thanks JPB... but correct me if I'm wrong - isn't the fuse typically only for the tweeter in such a cabinet? Is the tweeter really rated at that?? I'd guess that a tweeter does not need to be rated as high as a woofer since low frequencies tend to need more current... but maybe my assumption here is wrong. Finally, slo blo or fast?

Isn't it a tweeter protection circuit build using a light bulb? It is described in Eden manual: http://www.eden-electronics.com/info...abs_Manual.pdf page 6 (look for TWEETER LEVEL CONTROL). Such light bulbs are available from several internet stores; in Europe from Thomann.de. I don't remember the exact symbol.

Anyway yall I just connected this fuse clip with a wire and the issue is still there anyway. I still need to know about the fuse, but apparently the absence of the fuse is not what is causing the symptom here. The symptom is that when the Eden WTX-500 (Class D) head is plugged into this cabinet there is a ticking sound. Each tick is about 1 second apart. This does not happen with another cab and does not happen with the cab and another head. ??
