Four years down the line and Valve rolls in at 100K (a regular system reaches 30K), stands at 18 ft wide and 10 ft high with six speaker boxes and 60 bass bins. It takes three 7 1/2 tonne lorries to transport the beast and twelve men two hours so set it up. It's simply mind blowing and it's not even finished yet. "We've been fighting non-stop to raise money to get this thing done," says Lemon D aka Kevin. "We've spent well over £70,000 so far and we're still working on the high-end frequencies." But, of course, it is the low ones that they're most bothered about. They even named it after the old valve powered amps found in the scoop bins that gave the original reggae systems like Jah Shaka and King Tubby their deep, warm bass. "There's nothing that compares to us now though," says Dillinja. "I've gone back and listened to Shaka and they haven't got as much power as we've got. We don't even turn it up all the way or it really would be ridiculous."
