My friend just got some pioneer deck w/lcd and nav installed. It seems that the deck comes w/tv tuner. They installed the tv antenna around his rear window and now he can get all the spanish channels =P.

Thanks for the feedback!

It's a sealed box for two 10" Orions. The plexiglass cover is open at each end so the sound can get out. The open end of the box that is towards the front of the car points to the amp so the air from the woofer blows across the amp for a little extra cooling. The amp is a 5 channel Orion, I run my four inside speakers and the two subs off the one amp. It's for the wife, so rockin the neighborhood was not the goal, but it does sound good inside.

I noticed a big difference between with and without the plexiglass cover. The cover tuned out some of the lower frequencies. I would not be happy with it in my car but the wife doesn't notice. I used a 1/4" piece of plexi, which is way to thin. Thats one of the things I still have to finish.

atleast 3/8" maybe even 1/2". but that means I have to redo the supports that hold the wings on the side of the trunk. And I am feeling really lazy lately, so I haven't done it yet.

all you need to install get tv reception on a video screen is a tv tuner
some tuners will also act as a video switche
