[1000mp] Roofing Filter

[D. J.]

Just to make sure after I had installed the filter board I put my 
voltmeter on the two power leads and measured +5.  Without power to the 
amp I would think gain would be reduced quite a bit.  The roofing 
filter should give you more gain so that you'd have to turn 9-1 down a 
couple clicks.
