I run a 13b2 at 60 ft.. works better than I thought it would. It's fed with 300 watts (if needed) and 1/2 inch hardline. My buddy south of me has run a 17b2 at 125 ft for several years without a problem. With 100 watts he kicks some ass at that height.

It's sarcasm. The within the ( ) in captains reply is why NOT to do it that way.
