fusion audio install electrical questions

[S75rich]

good evening,
im currently looking to put some new fusion audio equipment into my sunseeker.

i have a couple of questions regarding powering it all. is my best bet to try and pull a 12v supply directly from the domestic battery banks and power everything off that the head unit and the amps.

should i try and keep the amps as close as i can to the speakers ie put the flybridge amp on the flybridge or can i get away with having a "media station" in a saloon locker and run speaker cable up to the flybridge?

has anyone had any experience with the fusion wb 670 hide away stereo?

lastly
all the fusion stuff is compatible with wifi for airplay ive got a mobile broadband sim card style router, will air play work if i don't install the sim card in the router so essentially use it as wifi but no internet.

thanks in advance

I don't know the 670 but I installed the Fusion power/ control unit in the saloon with the cockpit speakers for the second zone controlled over N2K on the MFD.
I used Bluetooth rather than wifi, but you can certainly use the wifi element of your router/modem without an internet connection.

Interested in this thread.

We have just installed a Fusion Apollo MS- RA 670 and powered that on the existing circuits for the Sony unit that it replaced but with higher amperage breaker and fuse on the two power supplies respectively to cater for the increased draw. The unit powers two zones but we need an amplifier for the new third zone on the flybridge. My thinking is too stick with the base unit providing two zones and just getting a single zone amplifier to do the third (as opposed to getting a line out to an amplifier that will do all three zones). Looking at the installation manual a direct feed from the battery to the amplifier with a 25A fuse close to the battery seems to be the way to go, Nothing I have read indicates an issue with distance between speakers and amplifier but distance from amplifier and power (battery) dictates cable size to avoid current drop.

No experience of the MS-WB 670 hide away unit other than considering it as an option but concluding that one of the Apollo units was a better option overall.
