[QUOTE="Buldg7, post: 8559847, member: 672486"] AN UPDATE TO THE LAST UPDATE: So in the third paragraph I went into talk about the LEDs, and I've already changed my mind on how I'm going to do this. I am still going to have independent power switches on each of the six zones, and I will have three different color zones, however instead of going the remote route I'm going to go with three square "in-wall" LED controllers. What I'm actually going to do is mount them on a panel that will go under the arm rest in the center console. Something I did look for was a cheaper controller that didn't actually have a power switch, but there wasn't a such thing, so the way I'm looking at it now is if I don't want people messing with things and turning things on, I can turn the power off from the controllers, as the physical switches will be between the positive output of the controllers and the positive input of the strips. Not only will this result in a cleaner looking setup, but it also means that I was able to have enough room on the physical switch panel for amp controller knobs.
