I have had my mmg's for a over a year , now i'm ready to bypass the fuse.

in the image on the left you will see an old pic showing how to do it.

The right pic is one of my mmg's , you will see they have replaced the blue wire to a brown,

which i think,if i copy the other pic should be added to the yellow,

what i need to know is the black wire that was disconnected from the yellow wire,

Is now connected to the red so i just disconnect that correct. thanks for your help, i just wanted to be shure.

Davey	Bypassing the fuse is fine, but I think you should leave the attenuating resistor location active. To me, the speakers are unlistenable without an attenuating resistor in place. On your second photo, I would simply remove the black wire connection from the upper lug on the fuse block and connect it to the lower left banana jack. Dave.

Correct me if I inferred incorrectly, but I took it that the photo on the right is of your unmolested connector plate. The upper pair receive the wires from your amp. The lower pair are made with either a jumper or a resistor. To the left is the fuse. Just follow the wiring (through the resistor/jumper and the fuse) and to what is the brown wire currently 'connected' - the red. Placing the brown wire on the other side of the fuse and resistor bypasses them.

Davey's suggestion is the same, except that it preserves the resistor. My suggestion doesn't require you to cut anything, but it does eliminate the resistor as well as the fuse.

Keeping a resistor helps with to much treble?. Nicolas
