Maybe..... ...but it's not like I was wrong. I was only trying to help. And I certainly didn't belittle him in any way shape or form. So why do have to get all up in my Biz-nass about it? Huh? You wanna go? Let's go! Go ahead...make your move...I've

We're going to swap SA-4 and 6 but it is going to take a few days. Thanks for all the help. Follow up: We swapped SA-7 and SA6 (because SA-4 was different). The problem stayed with the original amp. so we're looking for a replacement. Our buyer is h
