In some cases sound might improve but you do lose protection for your speaker. Better to replace the fuses with ceramic fuses

Before installing the silver bars you must first wave over them the feather of a barn owl three times then sprinkle them with holy water. If you do not notice an increase in sound quality then repeat three more times. If this does not work then reinstall the stock fuse.
Wow... You know the owl feather ... is an added 25 dollars..... I just didn't think it was worth it!! Bu now that you bring it up.... :) ....
In any case ... yes - I get the no fuse = no fuse.... and it could be there for a reason... yet there seem to be a lot of cases of people burning up their tweeters with quite healthy fuses....
Was just wondering IF someone did want to bypass fuses would something like little silver thinga-ma-bobs that are shaped just like fuses create a similar effect to having no fuse at all and avoiding the surgery on the wires.... I am leaping to the conclusion that they are in fact solid silver little bars shaped like a fuse to fit in the fuse holder.
No. The fuse holder is a major downside. It robs you of quite a bit of performance regardless of what you stick in it. Best thing is to bypass it if you trust your amp not to blow the tweeters with high freq clipping noise.

Do you know what sounds worse than Maggie tweeter with a fuse?
A blown Maggie tweeter with a bypassed fuse.
Yeah, bypassing the fuses is for people braver than me. Of course, the way I look at it is that the purpose of the tweeter is to protect the fuse. :-)
I worked with a guy years ago who actually sent all his speaker wire and interconnects to somewhere in California and had then frozen. Some people will buy into anything searching for that elusive sound that simply is not there.
LOL^2. What makes it doubly silly is that there are so many thing you can do that really do make a difference!
