You are right, it does not have dual control. I personally don't like splitting one preout signal in two to feed to two amps when I already have three sets of 4V preouts from the head unit. So I use this on the Harpoon amp driving the tower only. I turn up the system volume with the head unit then can boost or completely mute the tower speakers depending on the situation. So if I am pulling a boarder or surfer, I can turn up the cabins and subs with the head unit volume to a comfortable level then further increase the tower speakers using the JL line driver remote knob. If we are cruising or just sitting and don't need the tower speakers, I can turn the knob all the way down to mute the tower speakers.

Everybody has their own way of doing it. I'm still using the fader set about +4 clicks to rear for tower and sub. You can hear on the water and still almost hear people shouting at you in the boat. I just mute everything with the remote when I need to talk to anyone. So I'm considering the alternatives. Not sure yet though.

Kane,
That's how I used to do it. Problem is, I would forget to set the fader and would remember after I'm already pulling a boarder. Or the boarder/surfer wants it turned up mid pull and I don't want to blow out the peeps in the boat. This way, I can control it on the fly.
You're right tho - there are many ways to do this, some more convenient than others.Al

well guys because of local availability I decided to try a pac lc-1 I am going to set the gain a bit higher or fade to the front if I don't like it set up that way then I am going to get the jl unit
I cant justify spending all that money for the hse and wetsound eq just to be able to turn the towers up and down
Thanks for all your input2007 Outback V

Did you look into the Krypt Eq? You can email Ken at bullet lines and see if he will extend the initial sale price to you. So far, I am more than thrilled with mine.

Kicker ZXM-RLC to control the tower and in-boat amps and then a sub control (most mono amp have these available from the sub amp manufacturer) or an RCA POT on the sub amp. 3 zone control!

I think you will be happy with this. I run a simular set up for my tower and for gaining, tune the tower how you normaly would, then tuen your PLC1 down to 75% and turn the amp gain up till its same level as when the PLC1 was at 100%,.
Now i would mark that 75% on the PLC1 and just tell anyone driving that if the stereo is at max volume the tower can only be at 75% other wise you risk blowing the speakers.Malo <--- Means--Evil or Mean One. This explains a lot.
