Dimming extremely bright and annoying LEDs
Sharpie!!!! Red, Blue, or Black the most common. You can control the darkness (brightness to the LED)through layers of coating, not to mention that you can combine colors to create what you want. What about removing them later you say? For a glass... 
SUB - Confuse?
Jimbillh,Sorry for neglecting to answer your inquiry. I apologize. For my two channel, I do not use a sub at all. The Odyssey's are more than enough to pump the woofer of my Ascents to my liking. Thanks!amandaraer

do bridged amps give the same sound as non bridged

Martin Logan SL3 vs Ascents
