Re: small/cost effective amp needed

["psghome2002" <psghome@xxxxxxx>]

I'm very pleased with the Kustom unit for the price. I went for 6 of 
the double wall controllers. It does have a party mode - has a 
master input that you simply connect an additional controller to 
that then controls all 6 zones. I'm also going to try 'injecting' IR 
directly into the main unit via a transistor to enable central 
control of all zones (currently you'd have to place an additional IR 
transmitter in the wall unit) from the HomeVision multi-zone IR 
feature on the expansion board. Someone on another HA newsgroup has 
successfully mixed in the IR signal apparently.

Car radio could work (or an old stereo system I guess) but I'd 
rather use a more 'elegant' solution I think (although I could hide 
it in the loft).

Cheers,

Paul.
