Dave Boros Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Looks nice. I'm hoping to add some arches and a webber tree or two next year. Fun stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun stuff!Thankie! =DYes, the problem with success is you start to think bigger. Is that a quote? hehehe I am going to attack the webber tree next year maybe. Sigh... always next year.DrewMy biggest problem is $$. I want to add 48 more channels to put me at 80 total. Figure I could easily do 3 7ch arches and make 2 webbers, but only use one controller, just build them opposite of each other for asymmetrical effect. My wife told me to open another bank acct just for lights. But yeah, gotta wait till next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ydeardorff Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I know this is erecting an old thread here, but I have looked at the arches (my wife wants them next year) and it seems there is no way to do these without chewing up several control boxes for them. They can be mirrored, or chase in the setup. It looks like it will soak up at minimum 8 channels for the mirrored, and up to 32 channels for the chase setup. The CCr's are gorgeous, but are more expensive than just buying another box. lolIs there anything Im missing here on how these are wired up?On another note, can you wire to inputs to one strand? Or will that fry the controller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
