[QUOTE="LaserRed38, post: 5766873, member: 582808"] He didn't say they carried CDT. And from the brands listed, he could do way better for his money. OP how much do you want to spend tops? Have you considered wiring/electrical/battery upgrades? With a modest low-powered system you are planning, they wouldn't be necessary, but it is always better to have all your bases covered (especially if you want to upgrade in the future...which you will!).
