thanks! i'll put together a full parts list once it's finished and if i have time a rough schematic. currently i have ordered a different line-driver to see if it fixes a couple of audio issues, and still working on dialing in software stuff as i have time. i also need to beef up the main...

still a few details with the hardware, but i've been working on the software side for a little change of scenery (automation, UI customization, and evaluating apps).

for simple and small - get this. every few months, plug it in to the cig lighter for a couple days to top it off. http://www.amazon.com/Jump-N-Carry-JNC300XL-Ultraportable-12-Volt-Starter/dp/B000XQ9MGE you don't want to leave it plugged in all the time, or whatever ends up draining your main...
