    bus build soon and trying to get a head start

    i don't have all the components or how much power they draw yet but i want as big of a system as i can without go way overboard which it seems is easy to do. i hope to buy the bus next month. possible room for expansion. i know(or think i do) 24v is safest. i'll list the things i know i want to...
