American Graffiti, Mad Max, Top Gun and Geronimo... good month

That's what I thought!

And I like the original stuff they do with Magnolia. I know nothing about Diggers, but will probably give it a shot.

I have 2 Carver 200 watt per channel amps, when Bridged they put out 500 watts per channel... I blew the Woofers on my JBL speakers doing the opening of Top Gun (catapult)
