You can fix the banana plug problem by jamming something sharp into the spaces between the springs, and prying the springs outward to increase the plug's effective diameter.

If your question on fusing has to do with installing a fuse in a horn circuit (HF output of a passive crossover), don't do it. If the fuse blows, you may save the horn driver but your amp may not like the sudden change+drop in "seen" impedance, typically at the crossover frequency. This is why some amps go into protect mode when a HF driver blows out.

Came back to this thread after having looked at the back of a WT800C. There are no banana/binding posts on that amp. I hope you're not trying to use banana plugs in the speakon sockets.

Thanks for all your replies, what I was trying to say is that I have the first wt800 which has the old speaker cable connection also banana cable socket which you connect the banana plugs to also I was trying to say the fuse inside the xlt which protects the horn has blown I just want to replace the fuse with a new fuse I was told you can use a dome bulb I just need the rating and volts ECT (someone out there must have the first wt800) thanks

I recommend these: . ,

Tapping the banana plugs on a flat surface will also spread the sprung sides outward on the plug pins. That's been the standard quick fix for decades.

I had one of the old Eden D410t cabs back in the day. You could use a dome light for a quick fix, but they will blow much easier than whatever the "standard" bulb is that's in there. I was on the road and had this happen and had to do the dome light thing. I was testing it during soundcheck and it lasted about 2 or 3 tweeter "overloads" before blowing. Had to go easy on the tweet after that until I could get proper replacement. Luckily I had bought something like a 3 pack of the dome lights.
