Thanks Tom, I might go double ended toaster style lugs. I don't know but expect powder coating would be very expense. But today I am a Happy boy. I have my Firebox hooked up and working well. I have to recommend the Minihost DAW. It's so simple to get working, doesn't have a bunch of junk I don't need and there's not a ton of drop down menus. Perfect for live, would suck for recording. I credit it for letting me use my wifes under spec laptop. Well of course, her too.
