Hi James,

Yeah, those marketing types can make anything sound good in theory,
and if it wasn't just hype, everybody would use it. I have 12 guage
wire on the speakers now, so wire resistance is not a problem, but I'm
always willing to try an experiment and let my ears decide. How do I
hook up the sigma drive? Do I just hook up an extra set of wires in
parallel at the speaker connected to the Sigma drive output on the amp?
