How much is a DVD setup

[jeremy96gase]

I've desided my next setup is going to be DVD enabled.

I've got a Pioneer HU and pioneer XM tuner, and I'd like to keep my XM tuner, if possible.

How much would it be to get a setup so i can watch DVD's and maybe TV?

Here is what i have now.
Pioneer Head (DEH-P4400)
Pioneer XM Tuner (GEX-P900XM)
Pioneer 6.5 (TS-C1653)
Pioneer 6x9's (TS-A6975)
Pioneer 12" Sub (300w RMS 2 ohm)
Proformance Tekneque 300w RMS 2 ohm amp
MTX 1.7' box (W112S)

a DVD player and screen....and make srue your HU will accept an auxilery sound input (from the dvd player)

shouldnt be more than a couple hundred dollars.....just scour ebay.

well it would be ideal if your headunit had aux inputs, but if it don't, don't worry. get you an FM modulator, sound isn't quite as clear as aux inputs, but it'll get the job done. then price just depends on what you want. you can get a 12v dvd player brand new for about $150. and a 7" screen for about $250. and of course you might be able to find it cheaper and you can definitely get more expensive.

You can actually get a 12 volt dvd player for less than $100 and a 7" widescreen LCD monitor for $100-$120 on ebay. The LCD monitors are all about the same quality (regardless of brand) from MY experience anyways. I bought two legacy monitors and one fahrenheit one before and they have 2+ years on them and they are still working great... Like matts said though just pick up an RF modulator or order pioneer's aux input module. The pioneer decks use IP bus and you can get an adapter to allow an aux input (which would be much cleaner) but I do not know where to order that or how much it would be. Hope that helped some.

good stuff thank for the imput guys!

x-bow and ps2 are getting so cheap that you might as well get one instead, they both play dvd's and the x-box stores your music on the 6gig (upgradeable) harddrive so you don't have to mess with cd's

[matts]

i thought it was a 10 gig?

anyways, that just depends on mountability. the reason im not putting a PS2 in emily's car is because of space issues. a 12v dvd player will fit neatly in her glove box, out of harm's way and prying eyes.........if you could see in her car anyway

[jeremy96gase]

who's emily?

Xboxes where 8GB HDD's when they first came out. I think they are 10GB now.

hmmm, moded Xbox, now that'd be neat.
Anyone know if a xbox would fit in the center console or Glove box?

[busch]

either one could probably be put under the front seat, or even under the dash, cause they have front loading drawers like a cd rom in a computer, + the ps2 can be mounted on its side

[matts]

emily is my fiance.......she's the one that has the GA. i have a silverado.

my friend got a cheap set up on ebay...

$350... 2 flip downs (or 2 portbale) and a dvd player and the pic is just as good as my friend who spent $1000

[matts]

i saw 2 screens and a dvd player at wally world today for like 300. but the screens were ugly and they didn't look compatible with anything other than the supplied cheapy dvd player.......unless you done some modifiying of your own
