Hey everyone!

I got a PSP recently to be used as an 'in-dash dvd player' and 'video game console' while I drive on long trips. Anyways, I have been getting everything. So far I got:

-PSP
-AC Adapter for power
-Movies
-Vent PSP holder

Getting:

-Aux input connecting to my Pioneer M80MP CD player

Questions:

1. Does aux sound for the PSP or similar (iPod) sound good through the car? I want surround sound and loud for when I watch movies.

2. Is there a better aftermarket PSP holder/mount other than windshield and vent holders?

I will post pics this weekend after I install everything and ask for comments.

Thanks.

I know its nor what you are going for, but this is pretty cool:

lol pretty dangerous too!

There is no airbag, so other than if you watch while driving, not to bad.

i bet you some people wouldnt even pay attention to the road with that thing on there... for shows +10. For DD, -10

Thats pretty sick but unfortunately not a tC. Right now the vent mount works good and clean. I have it centered over the headunit but it blocks the air. I would like something that molds up from the top of the center dashboard. Maybe something out of fiberglass. I am willing to pay $100.

nothing like a psp flying into ur face lol

no air bag is not so bright too.

Nick06tC

Its an xB so same idea. But I agree, not the best spot.

I will try and find it. Some one recessed their headunit and mounted the PSP in front of it. You remove the psp to operate the headunit.

Here are a few more. Search PSP and you will find a bunch of people have done it. Some are good ideas, some not so much. But check it out!!!





Another,dakines ride:

Starting with the beginning. First removed all the back trunk area to lay down FatMat. Here is the final result:


Then I put the left foam piece back:

The right piece:

The bottom hinge piece:

The spare tire:

The top liner piece:

Here is the final product of sub, amps, from the back end of the car after all the wiring:

Here is the installation of psp, headunit wiring, rca to psp cabling, mount:

Want to thank Mandos for his Disassembly FAQ in the tech section.


PSP sounds awesome. I am running it on high performance Polk Audio mids/tweeters, sub, and 2 amps at ~1000W. Action movies sound excellent.

looks pretty good, where did you get your vent holder from?

Necromancer

I got it from eBay. Just search for PSP mounts. It works pretty good. When you want air, the holder piece just slides up and off leaving like 90% of the air to still come through. Getting the mount piece that attaches to the vent is difficult, but you don't want something wiggling around anyways. It is a very clean setup if you are patient.

I have noticed some noise insulation just doing the trunk area. The response from my sub is clearer than ever. During movies, it is really awesome. I plan to do the doors this week which should be a bigger improvement.

Door Panel off

Door itself (unorganized)

Taking this plastic crap off that I don't know who put in?

FatMat installed!

Securing all wires. Polk high performance speakers with tweeters and amp box btw.

After trimming excess FatMat with knife cutter, door panel back on - finished door


For the left door, same thing.

The mods continue...

I hate to tell you this....but that plastic stuff....was weather guard. It's factory installed to keep the water from the windows and everything outside the inner door panel. If you get a good rain, or even have wet windows and roll them down, you will get water into your crossover and kill it.

I would highly advise reattaching that plastic and sealing the doors again and remounting the crossover.

Nick06tC

I agree. Its the inly thing keeping water that is on the window from getting into your speakers and all!!

Crossover location BAD!!

Replace the plastic weatherseal with eDead V4, Teklite, or similar self-adhesive foam liner. On door panels, it makes a bigger difference than the deadeners.

Necromancer

Man I threw it away. Also this morning driving to work the right door speakers went out. WTF? I will look at it tonight. There was no rain or anything. I don't know what to do now?

Necromancer

Where can I buy the eDead V4 at?

Also, you or anybody, tell me exactly what to do. I only have done the right door because my finger cut open putting the fatmat down (monster fatmat cut). I don't have the plastic anymore.

Optimally, you would locate the X-overs behind the kick panel covers or in a similar location. IF they're thin enough, you can put them between the inside of the door panel and the door skin (the same level that the plastic weatherseal was adhered to) with no ill effects.

eDead v4. 20sq/ft would be well more than enough to do both doors. You can't have too much-- it works well in any creak/squeak-prone area of the car.

Necromancer

Not sure if I am understanding.

-Is the eDead different from the FatMat? Do I put eDead right on top of FatMat?

-What about the plastic that is now missing? Do I need to buy plastic somewhere else?

-Is the place of the crossover bad because it is on the outside of the door frame?

Thanks.
