Bypassing over-current protection light bulb in speakers, would it help or hurt?

Posted by Yashu (A) on May 11, 2007 at 12:45:49

I have a set of JBL control monitors and I enjoy the sound for their size, but I always felt like something was missing as far as dynamic "punch". I recently upgraded their woofers to an optional woofer JBL offers that has a larger magnet, better surrounds, and longer excusion, but it still seems like something is holding them back.

On each of their crossovers there is a lightbulb for over-current protection and I was wondering if bypassing this would give an improvement in dynamics or just mess things up? I don't play my speakers too loud and I have a good amp that can easily take their load so I am not worried about needing the protection, but I don't know how necessary they really are to the crossover design.
