Do you have Kicker amps? One of the reasons I went with the ZXM was because I have that 700.5 with the bass controller. If I didn't have the bass controller, I would have went with a 420 and spent the extra cash.

What amps and size wire do you have? The factory only runs 8 gauge power to the factory Kicker 700.5 which is not big enough. I am pretty sure that my system is louder after swapping that 8 gauge out for 0 gauge and a dist block.

Yes I have the Kicker amps. I have the 700.5 and I think it is the 350.4 (without looking). I am guessing I just have the factory wire (looks the same as what is in the pic a couple of posts up). I knew you had made some changes so that was why I asked. Do you have any pics of the dist block and what the wiring looks like? I will do a search to see.

I don't think I have pics of that. I didn't do anything fancy with that yet.

CHP has definetly put a few packages together this winter! Thanks Mike

Insane04 in GA is starting his, MLS's is staging, Ryan Skinner's is ready to ship, Chris Carpenter is bringing his 08 22Ve from TN on Sat for an install and im finishing up a 3 sac install on a 95 Supra 5000 Classic DD.

Here's a crappy pic before it was all done.

It must be something in the bottled water they deliver to all the boat builders CC uses 8ga, MC has used 8ga.

Gutting the wire and running either dedicated 4ga or a 1/0 trunk-line with blocks is an improvement. If nothing more, the amps run cooler with proper current flow.

If your are ready to tackle, let me know....I stock all you need

If someone just wants zone controll, the ZXM is a better route. No long RCA runs and true 3-zone volume control when you have a sub controller.

For those looking for the added features of an EQ, talk-back, etc, the WS-420 gets it done right!

Do you need to do both the ground and the power?

I might have to wait. I think I have already spent my boat cash.

Take some pics and let up know how it goes

[Timmy!]

In my pic there is a ZX700.5, an IX500.4 and a ZX200.2. I took the 200.2 out.

Yes pics are a must.

I think it takes a little longer to take pics but it is good to see things and also see what others have done to share ideas.
