Zone control on GS20

[Millerda68]

I was told my 2017 GS20 had zone control and settings were in the Linc Panoray system. It has the sub, 6 cabin speakers, and tower speakers installed. The only option I get is the FADE option which will adjust between the tower and the cabin speakers. The screen was replaced and I am wondering if the zone control was not re-activated by the dealer when they installed the new screen? Anyone have any experience with this?

For some reason the GS20 does not come with a zone control like the bigger G boats have. I had a WS 420 installed in my GS20 just for the zone control.

Thanks for the info. Disappointing given all the other stereo upgrades and the tie into the Linc system. I had an Exile ZLD II in my last boat to control all.

If you have the upgraded head unit (Polk UM1A Zone Controlled) then you can use zone control. Its a dealer setting in LINC. I have a Polk PA4 (standard factory) and tried to change the settings to the new zone controlled and it didnt work. I am changing out my head unit to the new JL MM100S mostly so I get zone control.

BTW, I have a 2017 GS20.

I much cheaper option would be to get two JL Audio control knobs to give you zone control vs changing out head unit . I have PA4 head unit as well. Mine works great

Did this on our 230 and it works great. I use it more than I thought I would. I installed just under the dash, making it very accessible by the observer and driver.

I did the same set up in my G but with a different knob placement more at eye level but none the less, I use them all the time.

i am in the same situation. I want zone control. i am waiting on the dealer to get back to me about the JL head unit. My boat goes in Friday for bow speakers, sub, amp, and underwater lights. the dealer will have to update LINC to enable the lights, so they may as well update LINC for the JL unit as well

I had to get the dealer code and go into settings and switch it to the UM-1 to get the zone control to show up in Linc.

But as @stuckinaustinag said you need the Polk UM1A to get zone control. Just switching the to UM1A in the dealer setup doe snot work. I tried it and you get very strange behavior from the controls.

JLAudio zone control knobs are the ticket . Inexpensive and can be purchased off of Amazon. Love mine and use them all the time. Volume issues solved after install . A+++

Can you post a link to the knob you're talking about? I only find a bass control.
