I kinda suspected that,...but,...
He claims, and insists, his speakers are working OK on another unit.
I was surprized that it went out as soon as he hooked it up, cause it was
working, and running cool in my shop. Maybe I better take it back, and ohm
out his speakers before I hook it up this time.
