speaker fuse help

I have been advised that it is a good idea to provide fuse protection to my speakers. I use a Phase Linear 400 amp and due to it's obvious age, it was thought that speaker protection would be helpful in case the amp. malfunctions in some way.

The manual that came with my speakers (EV's) recommends the following "A Littelfuse brand 3AG Slo-Blo fuse of 1 ampere for each Interface C system. Inline fuse sockets may be used, or a fuse block may be glued to the rear of each enclosure. Both types of holders are readily available".

As I am using heavy braided copper cables to the speaker connectors, can these be easily connected to a fuse socket or fuse block ? Also, is the Littelfuse brand still available ?

Interesting that EV would recommend Slo-Blo while Acoustic Research used to recommend fast fuses.

Yes, Littelfuse is still in business though the Des Plaines IL factory has been closed for almost a decade and the buildings are gone.

Go to the Digi-Key web site and enter "Littelfuse" in the search box. In the resulting menu, click on "fuses" and "fuseholders". Plenty of options available.
 
Thanks Fred Soop,

Just placed an order with a fuse supplier out here, all parts in stock.

Just got to work out how to connect my braided copper cables to the fuse holders when they arrive.
