Why two screens almost side-by-side? (not trying to be an ass. Just seriously curious).

ok wow..where to begin in replying.

Jaimecbr900 - the top screen was actualy going to be more infront of the passenger on the dash, but it wasn't going to be able to work out the way i wanted it to. so decided to move it there.

AtifSajid - its in the back seat for right now. in between the seats. kinda. ghetto right now. but its temporary, one day the back seat will be gutted, its such a tiny area back there. right now it just has some screws going through the seat, bolted to the case kinda hard to explain, but like i said its temporary.
its a shuttle XP case. i believe its got a xp2800 in it, 512 ram, 80 gig drive, dvd burner. wasnt going for a burner, but it was just as cheap as a dvd rom so figured why not.

XBLG20 - there are several interfaces youc an use, ones called Coyote Media car, this ones pretty cool. i use Media Engine. and both of those can be found on mp3car.com

Brett - isnt this headunit the shit? i love this thing.

OT:
I have seen a car that had a computer in in many years ago...Scott Buwalda (Cumming, GA) had one in his 240 that would control amplier temperatures, windows, various motorization functions, and ALL sorts of stuff...

Sorry we missed you leaving a couple nights ago. I got stuck up front in a pretty intense debate over the best course of action (so far as my paintwork goes). I hope you didn't feel run off or anything! Anyways, it'd be awesome to chat more as your project continues to take shape!

no. i ran a cable from the computer to the back of the head unit, (3.5mm to two RCA). and i am just using my system, all rockford speakers with two rockford 10's bridged, 1.4 farad cap with a 900w rockford punch am. it kills. :)
