I have a ZW-C with two PH-180's for track channels (A) and (D). I have found a PH-135 for a good price. Would that be enough to power channel (C) for an "All Accessories" channel?
I plan to run my DZ-1000's off accessory channel (B), sharing power from the PH-180 for Track one on cnannel (A).
Make sence?

First, you should add up the wattage of all the accessories you intend to power from that channel; if the total comes in under 135 watts, you should be OK.
Since I don't own a ZW-C, will it allow you to mix different wattage bricks like you intend to do. You need to check the ZW-C instructions to see if that is advisable/allowed by the ZW-C circuitry.
It has been a while, but my understanding of the ZW-C is if you want to share power between channels, the jumper allows power to be shared by the channel to the left of the channel that is powered. I would probably plug a PH180 into channel A, the PH135 into channel B with a jumper to channel C, then the other PH180 into channel D.
The DZ-1000s need very little power, and work best at 14-15 volts. I would run them off channel C set to the proper voltage.
I ran PH135s and PH180s of my ZW-C, but they were not connected to the same track. I do not remember any caution against combining these power supplies (and I do read the manuals).

B cannot jump to C. Power must be applied to A and jumper in B. Power applied to C and jumper in D.
