While very effective for augmenting the low end for 2 channel music systems, it doesn't have the power handling capacity needed to make home theater effects bass come alive. It is trying to tell you something when it blows fuses.

I am sure you are right. Makes good sense, but I have to keep it as it is our coffee table and there is no good space available for another sub. The fuse blowing is maybe once every couple of years so not something I can't live with, just would be nice to have a circuit breaker that would re-set itself as the one in the link apparently does. I also need to try to remember to kick the sub gain down a few db when viewing those big LF effects films.
