jtwrace, yea it is quite a speaker building factory, isnt it. Luckily I have a walkout basement, so I was able to do a lot of cuts outside (although I froze my ass off). Maybe I should go into business to give the pros some competition

This was quite a learning process, and many thanks to Ron, Voncarlos, and of course Danny for all the advise and support. Danny's a great guy. My N3+N3S kit was missing the 1 ohm resistors (hey, mistakes happen). I noticed it the day before Christmas, and Danny went out of his way to ship it out that day. The day before Christmas! I think anyone else would've waited until after the holiday.
And thanks corndog71, your avatar is quite fitting for me right now!
