Finnishing My System After 3 Yrs...need Help - AckermaNzx3 - 10-03-2008
ok so first ill say my issue then outline my system for fun :)
i need to figure out how to mount my ps2...i was thinking in the glove box or under a seat...but i dont know where to start
-fyi, the power inverter has to be mounted behind my glove box
system (front to back)
head unit - jvc avx44 (built in 3.5 screen)
7 inch gps with video in
ps2(not mounted!)
300 watt power inverter
alpine type r 5x7's
alpine type r 6x9's
alpine mrp f550 (90watts x 4 rms)
alpine r12 sub
alpine mrp m1000
stinger 1 farad capacitor
stinger billet inter connects (for sub)
monster cable inter connects (for speakers) - great buy, yes expensive but easier to tuck away one wire that covers all 4 channels
and all the regular power and signal wires
ps. i could really use some help figuring out how to mount this, pics are encouraged :)

Is it the old style or the slim version?
I had the old style in a glove box set-up that Hardk0re had fiberglassed up for me.
It worked great and only stuck out maybe .5 of an inch just under the glove box handle and 1.5 inches from its lowest point, since the glove box is on a slant :D
Now it is in Audionut405's car.... I'll get a hold of him and see if he has any pics
NOW if it's the newer slim style..... this idea is way out there, but might be cool.
What if you mounted it in the headliner? Since the games/dvds clip into it, the door when opened would just drop down and would be easily accessable to the driver

Ive seen slim playstaions on the headliner before looks alright. One guy even made his slim his passengers visor it fliped down and everything but im pretty sure it was a trailer baby car show toy

Nice work Kevin....I had my X-box under the passenger seat....Not a good idea
Not enough ventilation and if you drive your car in the winter, well when you use your heat your getting that console really hot....Soon enough you will have to look for a new console
I say If your ps2 or I prefer X-box isn't chipped then there is no use for it in the car
X-Box is pretty much a computer so you have many options for a great system....I say loose the Glove box or put it in the trunk, and get wireless controllers
