Does anyone remember the 24v mod on the other forum? This was the one with the 23a batteries and the 2 pk carrier. I can't remember how to wire them..do you?

I don't recall that mod, but if you are using 23a 12V batteries, you would wire them in series to achieve 24v: Battery #1 negative to 'ground, #1's positive to battery #2's negative and #2 positive to the active pickup's (+).

Hope this helps.

If I remember correctly, that is exactly what the old mod did.
