Do they have master/slave ports ?

Take the bottom's off and look for the board revision right next to the power input

The yellow and red switches it to high current for lower ohm loads

The Rev. on the MQ430 would be B....so you have some nice amps there :wink:

I have a different manual for the MS-275 than what is on this site, it talks all about the master/slave and stuff that the manual on this site leaves out, I will have it ready to be posted soon
