i've seen others post that this way cheaper unit is the same...it's output is printed on it as 216w or 432w.
guess you could find the specs of your spkr leds and add them up. wet sounds website says their unit powers up to 10meters of leds. don't remember seeing your setup, but if no one chimes in with real knowledge, i'd guess one would run a bunch of speakers, and some cup holder lights ...and some cabin lights.

Does your controller have more inputs than the one I linked?

 

[jthackman]

the kicker unit is super basic..power in/4 rgb wires out. daisy chain to each speaker. their site says i can connect up to 12 led speakers to it.

the one you linked has 2 output channels. but i don't see that it treats them as sep lighting zones.
have you looked at wet sounds shadow caster? pretty slick multiple zones.
have you seen sotally tober's setup?

crap, sorry to kill your thread with all the pics..thought i was just linking it

edited...removed link?

No worries I appreciate the help. I have seen Sotally Tober's, but it's been a while. I'll look at it again.

What kind of splitter did you use to daisy chain the speakers together? Photos?

i'm sure there are cleaner ways to tee into the rgb wire, but i already had those type b crimp connectors.
the t-taps i had were for larger gauge. amazon has tons of connector options.
rgb wires are like 22 or 24 gauge, really small. need something solderless.

do your speakers have a plug for the rgb? see this on crutchfield

Yes, my speakers, WS revo 6's have the rgb connectors/wires.

I really appreciate your time and input. The installer wanted $500. Not a hard project to do I just didn't Have everything figured out. I read some post watched a few you tube videos, but none really had the answers I needed.

that's less $ than i would have thought.
it's a simple job, but crawling around in the compartments and the small wires are kind of a pain. yours are 18ga, that's helpful.
with the crutchfield plugs you could also homerun whips from each speaker to the controller...would use more wire, but could make all connections at one place vs at each speaker.

Wiring humerus is what plan has been. With two zones, I was thinking of running the 3 port speakers to our and th3 3 starboard speakers to the other. I wasn't sure if I could twist 3 18 hauge together in each of the connections.
