I have about 25-30 songs in a loop. The main reason for the number of songs, is that i am generally out the front for a lot of December and would get bored of the same 5 songs over and over. Even with 25+ songs, i get over them and skip the occasional song. Do what you like, 95% of the public...

If it's not visible from the side/back, then i would stick with only what people can see. 180/270 etc. While 360 is very cool (and i'm all for over doing it), its a lot of extra pixels that will shine where no one can appreciate them. I guess it all depends if the extra effects you can do with...

I took the data/negative straight to the xConnect pigtails. Only the larger diameter positive wire went through a fuse block

I've had no issues with my setup for the two seasons i've used it. As Mike mentioned, its the preferred way to have ground provided with data. But as i've not tried without it, i cant say its needed or if it does nothing.

Yes it will work, and i've done something similar for my garage matrix. I used Ethernet cable with Ethernet cable glands etc so they click into my controller box. Have a read of the below of how i did it...

Both will give an identical result. Whatever you find easier to wire up. The main concern with wiring up multiple power supplies is in the low voltage side is connected to controllers and each other. Your drawing isn't clear how this is connected, that will change recommendations for wiring on...

If you already have the prop, coping to a new sheet of coro should be a piece of cake.

I got some free speakers on marketplace. Do the job, and not fussed if they get damaged.

Paid! Looking forward to it

No unlikely a 200w psu will be enough. I was more just focusing on the layout that any kind of constraints with power/controllers.

If it was me and looking to keep the static display, i would separate out the sequenced bit of your display to one side of your house. You have a really nice section of retaining wall that has lots of depth and height. Another benefit is it keeps all your controller outputs close together and...

Well that looks very cool! I'll have to have a play around later on in the year. Great Job for all involved!

In situations like this, first you must ask…. what would frank do And the answer, invariably, is: “less… but also more… and definitely sideways.” A few very general thoughts, offered in the spirit of organic illumination rather than actionable advice: 3D vs 2D Frank famously believed the plan...

It knows!!!!
