that last sentence of mine sounded almost identical to "so ur tring to tell me that my buddy has no idea but has one of the loudest trucks on the east coast". however close those two may sound to you, that's not what i said. but I will say that a buddy of mine, name withheld, 14 time world champion and tied for most championships in dB Drag history with Steve Cook also had trophies and championships and awards and records etc etc, blah blah....used to turn all of his gains wide @ss open, and didn't think that knowing the impedance curve amounted to anything. that's the extent of what a record holder and world champion titles amount to, nothing directed at your buddy personally.
