Is it just me or does everyone have to bend way down and almost look directly at the screen to see the volume setting?! I don't use auto volume and can't stand the fact I can't just glance down at the screen and see what the volume is at because of the glare. May switch to the WS media center when it comes out if there is not some kind of adjustment I don't know about yet.

Does it have a way to adjust the brightness?

My ears are much better than my eyes at determining the volume of my stereo.

I am having issues with it when I try to toggle between zone 1 and tower. I do have to bend down to get straight on to see it...

Is there a way to adjust the output of the towers and in-boat speakers independently? When towing I'd like to be able to crank the towers without blasting out the occupants of the boat.

I have SP1 with a custom aftermarket "SP2" (2 JL amps, ported sub box, bow speakers, and a pair of Rev8 tower speakers) installation so mine might very well be different from yours, but if you tell me it can be done then I'll have to go to the stereo shop and have them sort it out.

As for the OP, yes it is difficult to see the screen while sitting up in the helm seat. I too have to bend down to see the stereo screen and make any adjustments. It would have been nice if it was either angled up or mounted higher.

I ordered mine with SP1 and added my own stuff. I picked up a HT6 and 2 bow speakers from a member here.

My system goes as follows:

HT6 powering the 6 in boat WS speakers and a WS 10" FA sub. This amp is hooked to the "rear" RCA's off the kicker unit.

Arc Audio 600.2 powering 1 pair of Rev10s, that amp is hooked to the "front" RCA's. This gives me control of tower and cabin. If I fade all the way forward only tower speakers play, all the way rear plays only 6 cabin speakers. Sub has its own volume which is nice and that will not change fading forward to rear since it has its own independent volume. When pulling a rider I usually fade to about 5 forward that way the towers are playing 100% and cabins are at 50%. If you have it at 0 both tower and cabin will be 100%.

Just curious has anyone added a rocker switch for their media center that allows you to turn the stereo on/off rather than using the power button on the screen?

I agree it is way too low...and why is it when I hit the throttle, the song starts over again...is that a feature I need to see on the unit itself?

I have toggle switches hooked up to each of my amps so I can easily turn off interior amp without interfering with the towers or vise versa. Took 5 minutes to install and I use it all the time.
