Laurie i couldn't have stated it better... thanks for suffering with me, and thanks to all the experts and opinions... and i'm aging it 1-2 years because thats what the instructions say.... my other kit, which i had the same problem, (or not a problem that i thought was a problem) will be ready in 3-6 months (creshendo Woodbridge Cab), so i will let you know how that one turns out..... Thanks a million!!!!
