I know that Nick, but as you state, the brinkman obviously needs its support, otherwise I'm paying all that money and only getting 50% of what it could do(that was what you said?) If Mr Brinkman was so determined to get the sound right for his TT, he'd ensure all were sold with the correct and optimised system of support, just as porsche would never sell you a car than ran on four skinny spares, even though the car would be adequate as a form of transport.
Nick if your happy throwing money at expensive kit, that needs other things to sound it's best, it's no wonder the brinkmans of the world and their dealers are happy, they can see you lot coming.
