My new video/audio project is well under way finally. I had some time off and was able to pick up some parts and start building the pices for everything. This is what is going on, inside the hatch I am making a new floor to replace the stock plastic one. I am mounting my 10lb nitrous bottle, a 15" LCD TV, my Xbox 360 ( YES XBOX 360), 4 X 6 1/2" speakers, an amp, and finally a Xbox 360/DVD holder.

I will be using a power converter to power the TV and Xbox 360 and it will be hard wired to the Yellow Top battery that I will be using.

I picked up all the plexiglass today and sanded them so it gave them a frosted look. I mounted neons behind them and monted them to the false floor. The plexiglss will be the base for the Xbox 360, AMP, and the nitrous bottle and a nice red glow of neon will show under each item. I mounted the Xbox 360 to the plexiglass buy using velcrow. This way I can bring it into the house when I need it.

I will be starting the Game/DVD holder next, but I am already having trouble with space. I might be looking at getting a 5lb nitrous bottle to help save room, or suspeand the Xbox 360 in the air.

I know, YOU WANNA SEE PICS!!!!! Sorry, but the tC is off at Single Digit Racing (Performance Shop in Indy) right now and it will be back tomorrow so I will take pictures tomorrow for everyone to see whats going on. This is a very slow moving project, so updates might be long and slow. (Thanks to college and work) Also, opinions are welcomed but I dont want to hear about how nitrous will blow my motor or how something is a waste of money or time.......Thanks

 

^^ well you know me , i cant wait to see the finished product !

 

cant wait to see the finished product

 

Nitrous is going to blow your motor.. AND You are waisting your money and time... HAHAH, just kidding.

I cant wait to see the progress.. Get pics whenever you can. Just show us how slow it is coming.. lol..

I would love to see how the Plexi looks with the glow.

 

i just need to ask

elaborate please

 

^^
i guess he meant making a braket not visible to the eye when seeing it. Like its hidden really.

Either that or we got a freakn Houdini in the forums.

 

I got an Update!!! Ok, today I mounted the power inveter and the Xbox 360 power cord and box. I am going to pick up the wood floor today and it will be carpeted tomorrow. The project will be moving a lot faster now, I dropped my Architecture class today so I only go to school 3 times a week now.... ......I will post pictures tonite, I need to get batteries for the camera on my way to class.....Look for pictures tonite!!!!!

 

...I Found Batteries...Here You go

 

Ummm.... you need to connect the inverter to the Batterie in order for it to work. LOL j/k

 

are you going to leave the power inverter running the whole time? I was going to put my inverter in the trunk same place where you have yours but i realized that I would have to leave the power inverter on the whole time or take everything out to shut it down everytime. I mounted mine behind the backseat easy for me to get to to flip the switch. just a fyi

 

I would have had the inverter working but the power cable touched the metal of the body of the tC and well there went the fuse..... ....I didnt have time to pick the fuse up since all I have in my house are MINI (Damn tC) ones.

Tomorrow I am finishing running wires and will be mounting the wood to support the right side of the floor, since I will be keeping the spare in. Also, will be mounting other goodies to keep the clutter under control.

 

Here are some more pictures of what was done today......Nothing is mounted or hooked up becasue we are still working with different ideas, but here you go.......

 

....Wait 302 views and noone is posting anything on what they think....Well, I got new pictures but if noone is following this thread then nevermind....

hello kitty :D

Looks like its coming along

 

so... 3 rings of death on the 360 eh? I've gotton those 4 times on mine... hopefully you wont have to send it back to microsoft.

 

Its 4 Rings but the camera didnt get them all. I think its because the clock is not setup, because when I use it in the house the rings go away after I set the clock and all the settings.......
