Well an additional control head, 2nd control head cable, mic and speaker (along with speaker pod if u did it right but not needed) and programming is all it should be. The only question I would have is would the 2nd control head be different like the W9 2nd head is (one bit in its permanent firmware is diff).

I have a setup I could try and see what it does with two standard w5 heads hooked up.

we have lots of W4 and W5 dual head mobiles
The remote head is usaully a different part number, the only difference is the rear cant turn on or off the power.
The other thing of course is in CPS to select the option.
