Fusion MS-RA770 Upgrade?

[MLA]

From an electrical standpoint, you will need to wire in the new power harness for the 770 and then run a new 2-chnl to the in-boat speaker amp and change the input mode on the amp.

Physically, then 70 is more rectangle and wider and the 770 is more square and narrower. So some fabrication is likely required.

So, how hard is it to switch out a 70 for a 770. I'm looking because I have no zone control for the front. My cabin and front speakers run off one channel / amp. my towers and sub of the other amp. But I do not have the ability with the 70 to have separate volume control for the front vs the cabin. Does this make sense? other possible solutions?

You can get the 70 to do zone control but it is a total pain.
I had mine for cabin, bow, and sub on zone 1 and tower on zone 2. I then had to adjust gain to make the bow and cabin match. I was also able to use fade left and right with this setup.

If anybody is interested, I've updated the plate via CAD to accept the larger RA-770 radio. 3D printing one now to test fit, etc.

Bringing this thread back. Has anyone added a GPS puck to the 770 for automatic volume conrtol?

I didn't add one, but my radio came with one. I actually use it quite a bit when the boat is in my dock slip. And when I say "I", I mean my kids. But it works very well and is convenient for adjusting the volume, pausing, skipping songs etc without having to go into the boat.
