Has anyone used or know somebody that has used the xtc power control system sold by side by side stuff? Looks nice and neat and i've been good this year.

Looks like a decent system to me. I don’t know of anyone on here using it.
I used a Bussman PDM and it’s got 10 circuits for less price. All the features may not be the same for a fair comparison but it’s served me well.

For someone with limited electrical knowledge and a lack of knowledgable friends this is perfect. I’m not judging them, you can’t know everything. It’s about as close to plug n play as you’ll get.
If you’re looking at more complicated circuits or if you’ve got more than 6things you want to control. It would benefit you financially to look at wiring it all up yourself. It’d take some pre-planning and learning but it’d cut your cost dramatically.
I have 15 switches that do a multitude of things, and I think the switches themselves and the PDM60 I have was around $300 the wire I have maybe $100 in for the whole machine.

I have a basic understanding of electricity but am not completely confident of the install. Price is why I have not pulled the trigger. I have seen a few posts w/ great pictures. I think im leaning towards the bussman and some research. The plug and play is so appealing due to the simplicity and nice clean look. I'm putting in an isolator so if I make a mistake at least I won't fry the pioneer! Thanks for the feedback.

I am using it and installed it on another members rig on here. Very nice system. What do you want to know about it?

Just wanted to make sure it was worth the price. Their were no reviews on the site. Where as the bussman gets nothing but great reviews. Seems foolproof to install. In this case I guess that is why you pay extra.

Mind sharing pics after installation?
Might go this route too. Installing second battery and winch?

It also has 2-3 extra fuse spots in the box to allow for expansion

I will post pics once it's done...but it might be awhile. I am installing a second battery an winch. Check out (dual battery setup-video walk through by dragon 21 as well as (my dual battery setup by johnny787). Video is great and the picture in the other has it all right there nice and clear. Good luck as well.
