Thanks for the tips Larry! Does anyone have any tips on whether a layout of
this size is better done as a full "O" rather than a "C" or a "G"? I know a
full "O" provides more area for stuff, but how much of a hassle is it getting
access to the centre?
And what do you do about crossovers between separately controlled loops? Just
try & match the controller speeds, or leave one off & control with the other?
So many questions, so little time.....
