Use heavy cardboard wrapped with moving blankets and secure UPRIGHT against the wall behind the cab. This is the smoothest ride for the speakers.If you carry anything else in the back be... | |
| What's your favorite Apple-based music program? Funny the JRemote app is where I encounter many issues I have had with JRiver.

| Do you indulge when listening to your rig? Beer or red wine with dinner is typical and if music follows the combo is great. If no alcohol at dinner then single malt scotch is my favorite. I drink it straight up, no ice and no water and limit to a small amount in a proper whiskey glass. | |

Dual is not belt drive but rather rim drive and considered to be a good option as an automatic.Th... | |
