I saw Bells had wired up a switch on one to turn the amplifier off and on.. was $13 option.

Thought that was a good option..

Reasonable price, imo. At $425

As in? Cheapest price?

GI Joe's is $419 most others are $425

 

[TheRealPorkchop]

Well either is fair. It’s not a terrible price from either guy.

Just looking for a mild tune and alignment...

 

[TheRealPorkchop]

Well I guess your choice would depend on what those guys charge for that then. What’s the alignment cost from either of those guys/shops listed above? Or from wherever you would decide to purchase it?

Hmm, what is the going rate for a full alignment?

I like my 2970N2.
Run it with a Turner CS1 and get complements from everyone I talk to.

Just so long as you color-match the NIB radio boxes on that closet shelf, the rest of us figure source is a wash.

Bells videos show about a 60w dk and swings to about 250-260 on it..

With switch for amp off is 4-5w dk and 25-30w..

Not bad, imo..

I'd probably request like a 225w pep and not push the 2 pill to hard.
