Which Kenwood unit do you have? I installed 2- 6" monitors in my headrests, with no problem. You can also hide the wiring through the posts, you just have to cut into them with a cut-off disc.

you will most likely have to hook up:

12v +, ground, and the RCA's.

not much to it, but depending on your monitor connections, it may be more difficult then running the wires thru the headrest posts. the monitors I had, the wires had a fat connector (similar to big, oldschool mouse and keyboard connector) and running them thru the posts was impossible.

yknow, larry, I don't ever remember hearing how that all turned out. you cut the plugs off, and spliced them inside the seat, right?

where was that post? (plz tell me to search )

nah, I ended up selling them. My car got broken into, ____ed me off a bunch, so I sold most of the stuff that is "****** and grap" in the eyes of a thief.

But if I wouldve put them in, I prob would not have cut them and splice. Im not really sure splicing is possible for an RCA connection. I pretty much decided to make a hole in the seat and snake the wires thru the hole...

BUT:




LOL, J/P.
