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

All the crossovers I have see with something like this it was a neon lamp or some other type gas discharge device.

These are an open circuit until the voltage reaches a point high enough to ionize the gas inside and cause current to flow through the gas, much like an open air spark gap. The gas mixtures can be varied to adjust and give a more consistent flash over point.

So really under normal listening conditions they should not effect the sound.
