The brown resin is glue that changed color due to heat and age. Rarely have I seen it cause problems. So unless you are having problems, No.

SOURCE: 5channel amp 6 speakers how

if it is a 5.1 channel amp wire the center speakers together into the same port. wire the two front speakers in the or der that they would appear on the amp (such as left front speaker to the left front speaker terminal on the amp etc.) and do the same for the rear speakers. and all you should have left is the sub-woofer channel in which you do not have to worry about.

Fuse probably went bad because either the large filer capacitors at the edge of the PCB went bad and or the final output IC mounted on the heatsink(15 pin) fried. Check the capacitors and all the semiconductor components on the board for burn marks or corrosion. You have to remove the heat sink clamp from in front of the output IC to adequately visualize its condition. In fact you might have to remove the large aluminum heatsink attached to the chassis to get a good view of the IC. If it or the heat sink clamp show signs of thermal burns you need to replace it. The IC is a TS TDA7294 mono audio amp available at Mouser Electronics. Replace the 35V 4700mF caps with 50V 4700mF caps. You will only have enough space on the top of the PCB for one of the larger caps. I mounted the other on the circuit side of the board. Note the polarity of the original caps and respect it in their replacements. The fuse is a 5 X 20 medium speed slow blow 250V 2.0A glass fuse.

Can replace my polk audio fuse with a T3.15A 250v fuse

It depends on what it is on, but I am seeing mention of a 1 POINT 6 (1.6) amp fuse so NO to a 15 amp fuse. Fuses are there to protect against shorts or overloads. The fix is not to put in a fuse that is 10 times bigger, or you burn out components or wiring. Fix the reason the fuse blew, normally take to an audio electronics engineer.

fuse (1.6A) 120vac

Hi I have a Polk PSW10 it keeps blowing fuse as soon as I plug it in after replacing fuse

Fuses blow when there's an overload. The most common cause is a shorted semi-conductor in either the power supply or the main amp stage.

My PSW111 started blowing fuses this week. When I put in a new fuse it blows right away. Went through 4 of them today.

The reason a fuse blows is due to some semi-conductor device now acting like it was a piece of wire. The thing could be either in the power supply part or the main amp device. If you see something like a transistor or IC that's been getting hot or is damaged that will be the culprit. If all OK, If I was you, I would replace first the main part for the amp section. It might be the biggest or on a heatsink.

Blew a fuse what kind dose it take is it a slow blow fuse or fast blow one,i took out the old fuse and it reads le.3a/250v is it a 3a or .3a

It is a 3A/250V fuse, also known as a 6A/125V fuse.

Power amps generally have slow blow fuses.

I have polk amp that is powering 2 12' subs but itis flashing up with low amp/short light with a little buzz noise?

you must check your wiring from head unit back to subs even take subs out of box to make sure no wires are lose 99.9 of the time a wire has come lose which can be bad if your bridging sups as it changes ohms with 1 or 2 subs hope that helps oh and check volts from you batt and check volts at fuse spots and after fuse to make sure your geting at least 12 to 14 volts cheers i just had a ***** of a prob my subs worked but **** bass found out head unit sub out craped out
