On the box it says the stero accepts a 4 amp fuse but would it be possible for me to use a 3 amp fuse and also if i do use a 3 amp fuse instead, what may happen with my stero

If you put a 3 amp fuse in place of a 4 amp fuse, nothing will happen to the stereo, but the fuse COULD blow before it really needs to as a protection measure. It is perfectly safe to do what you are suggesting, but "nuisance blowing" becomes a real possibility. Can you not find a 4 amp fuse anywhere, or what? Why are you asking about this?

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
