Default The xA

ok not finished with the I.C.E yet but here is the start of it. Ok up front we have a flip out DVD and monitors in all four headrest. Under the driver seat I put the X Box for right now till I have more time to take it apart on put it in the dash. As for the rear I got 2 Boston G5's powered by a Memphis 1000 watt class D amp and a 1 fd Cap, under that ( Where the spare was) is the air tank and all the goodies for the air ride

My recommendation. Take out the cap and upgrade your grounds. Instead of paying almost $100 for the cap you could have paid $20 for the grounds and not had a bandaide to a bigger problem. Do a search on the Big-3.

I'm not going to go into detail of why caps are worthless, but just know the one man who patented the idea won't even run a cap in a 3000W competition system.

Sell the cap to an unknowing audio newb and get at least half your money back.

Oh yeah, I can't access the link (Not Authorized) for some reason. However, without the cap you have a good system setup.

well the the rear headrest in the xA is small so the only thing I could have put in them would have been 4 inch, so I didn't do it. I ran across some 7 inch monitors made into black leather headrest on e bay for cheap so I went that way. They are not by far the best out there but the only time they realy get truned on is at shows. So for the money I guess it was a good buy. More points on the judges score sheets at shows anyway

Your xA looks great...And I love the Incredibles movie

Has anyone ever mounted a small LCD where the rear cupholder is instead of the headrests? with the simplicity of removing that part of the console, I'd think it'd make a really easy and cost-effective rear dvd player... thoughts?

is it just me or are the front monitors not straight?
looks good, need some "pretty panels" to fill in the gaps around the box.

did the box that way cause everything for the air ride is where the spare was. If I would have done a fiberglass box or allot of trim it would make it hard to get to it. Only thing i have to do with the way it is setup now is fold the back seat down and push the box over so I can open the cover to get to everything for the air ride.

I'm confused Since when do you get more points for having video screens??? The judges are supposed to be judging on cleanliness of your ride, not the amount of interior mods you have. The mods simply determine what class you are in.

Some shows have best I.C.E and I just like it when people ask (Why do you have TV's in the back headrest?)
