Swarming!
I am still playing with the positioning of my 4 subs but I’m close now. Did anyone else have bass traps before and are removing them now? 
My list of seller red flags
What about selling? I’m selling an amp now and the best offer I have is from a person who has no feedback. What are the possible pitfalls?
