Why did you even need to post pictures? Ohhh... Because when you say you have an indash mobile video screen, none of us would know what you're talking about!

How about you just tell us what you have, starting with MM&Y of the car it is going into.

Now the makes and models of the equipment you have or want to get.

Other then what B18C_EJ8 has already linked you to, all I can say is you start with the HU, [head unit/ radio] it is the most importent piece of any audio system, everything will depend on it and it's capability.

As for the pix of equipment I was going to say the first thing you need to do is kill yourself now, so you will not have to suffer. 94

looks like you got everything you need. replace the speakers, wire the amp by using the wiring kit, just read the directions. get a wire harness for your indash dvd, hook the subs up to the amp, hook the cap up, i forgot what else was in the pics but thats all u really gotta do. are you asking HOW to do all this or what? you can find it in ur owners manuals. that is unless ur merchandise is hot and it didnt come with manuals

yea thats what im really caring about. the wireharness and amp its has alot of wiring. but from what u said its seems little easy and i need just more reading.. and what about the battry its will hurt if i install alot of stuff like other ppl doing can i add new battry for the new stuff? or is there something will fix this promlem?
e.x i have a friend he insttall Xenon on his chevrolet Lumina but when he turn it on the radio turn off and start again he said the xenon take very high power so the battry will hurt?
thanks

Sounds like your friend has another problem. You will not need another batter unless you plan on using the stuff for long periods of time with the car off. Otherwise the alternator should be able to handle a reasonable system. If you want to add another battery then you will need to get an additional battery kit that has a charging circuit to allow both battery's to charge properly.

or you could just use ur capacitor that you have and you won't need the other battery.

A capacitor only works when the car is running, so, in said situation, it would be useless.

Capacitors are a band-aid fix anyways.
