Glow fuses, is this a common thing?


Our church has some really nice Community subs. Each enclosure has 4 12" drivers and boy do they sound good. My question is when they are driven hard ( we have an H&H V800 driving them) the inside back of the speaker cabinet glows. My understanding is that Community uses a special circuit that passes any extra power over the maximum safe level into fuses that will glow like a light bulb to use up the extra power.

Thoughts?
