Rogue Audio M 180 fuse upgrade

Hi, I am thinking of upgrading my power fuses to fururtech.
right now they are using .5 amp buss fuses, what would happen if I increased the fuse amp rating ? to 1 amp or 5 amp? would this allow more current delivery from my amps? could it damage them? .5 amp seems really small. Thanks, chris

First worry about the reasons for blowing fuses. The fuse is there for a reason.

I actually have not been blowing fuses, I have heard good things about upgrading fuses to better my sound, and was interested in what increasing the fuse amp rating would do.

Leave your factory fuse and move up the chain and get yourself a new power cord ...... it's that easy!

The purpose of fuses is to protect your gear. Using a larger value fuse will allow more current to flow before the fuse blows in case of a problem, and other expensive parts like output transistors may be damaged instead of the cheap fuse. As others pointer out you will also void your warranty.
