I'm a little confused, probably because I don't have a Z1 to look at. I'm assuming when you say "speaker wires" you are talking about the output of the Z1's built in 4x50W amp, and "amp wires" are the low level outputs that bypass the built-in amp. Is that right?

I just got my service manuals and see that they show low level outputs from the oem premium head unit going to the Monsoon amp, so I'm wondering why not do the same with the Z1?? Does it seem like the Z1 speaker outputs are overdriving the amp at all, or are you really getting a good range with the volume control? Or are the OEM low level outputs really not so low?

I have full range of volume control, from nothing to blow your ears (and speakers).
You can use the low level outputs from the radio; however, you will have to use adapters and not sure what would happen if the signals went through the adapter.
They are lower level outputs, but it appears it does not affect the Monsoon amp.

No, it is just another AE spreading sh*t and screwing around with decent threads.
