Internal Sub-woofer Fuse Blown. Need details on replacement.
The other day, we had a power outage followed by a surge once the power was restored. I noticed that after this incident, my Bose 3-2-1 would not turn on. Upon opening the sub-woofer unit, I found that a fuse that was hardwired to the circuit panel inside was completely shattered.
As a makeshift measure to allow the device to operate, I put a piece of tin foil in place of the fuse. I would like however to get the right fuse for the device as well as to be able to install it. I think it would be best to replace the internal design with an actual fuse holder so that future replacements won't require me to cut and (potentially) need to re-solder the fuse back in. I need to know however what AMP rating and side of a fuse that I should put into the Bose as well.
Is dit een goede vraag?

I am not sure what you mean by "side of a fuse" you may need to elaborate on that.

Please do not operate the equipment with the tinfoil, instead of a proper fuse. you are running the risk of further damage as well as a fire hazard.

Sorry to be ignorant but how can I tell if that fuse is blown because if I can tell on mine the fuse looks good but I am having the exact same problem?

Disconnect the power to the system and then connect an Ohmmeter across the fuse.
The meter should display 0.00Ω i.e. a short circuit. The same reading as you will get if you touch the two meter test probes together ;-)
If it displays OL then the fuse is faulty.
