[QUOTE="tinmanchris217, post: 6244957, member: 610505"] Interesting info about surface-mounting... I didn't realize that they have significantly lower power rating. For all the surface-mount parts I've done, it's been a thin soldering iron tip, and a steady hand with the tweezers. Quite a pain, but it gets the job done. I've heard about the irons that "blow heat" but never used one. Sounds alot easier to use. I'm guessing this is one of the reasons you always advise people not to mount amps to sub boxes?

It's not the worst thing ever, but alot of manufacturers are choosing this "upgrade". Is it for clean wiring? [/QUOTE]
