How is everyone setting up their stereo so that the tower speakers have a seperate volume control vs the boat speakers? I want to be able to control both independent of each other. Any advise?

In the RCA output; make the front your tower and your back you boat speakers.

Patrick do you have your cabin speakers on a sperate amp or off the head unit?

Jason, I have a 4-channel amp with 2 channels bridged running the sub and the other two channels split and running the 4 cabin speakers. Putting in the PAC-LC1's was the best thing I have ever done as far as my stereo is concerned! It allows everyone to adjust the music to their personal prefrences. I like lots of bass so I keep the sub turned up, my dad doesn't like it so when he drives he keeps the sub off. Some times we like to be able to talk in the boat while the rider listens to music. It just helps make the stereo much more enjoyable when you can turn on or off certain components.

thanks patrick. does anyone know if I can keep my cabin speakers on my head unit, and then just set up an amp for my tower speakers with a sperate volume control or do I have to get another amp for my cabine speakers?

The LC1 is for RCA's and IIRC the LC2 is for speaker wire. So you would hook the speaker wire into the LC2 and the tower speaker amp RCA's into the LC1...
