EG entertainment system setup ideas (a rough cut layout)
to start, this is all a rough layout of what i plan on doing when i iron out all the problems with the setup
i plan on putting a 7" touch monitor (Lilliput LCDFR-669) into my EG coupe. the monitor go directly where the single din and climate control is. Of course it will need custom work (cutting, fitting screen, relocating CC to optional audio console below), but that'll be for another thread, i wanna be all electronics for this one.
heres a rough (MS Paint) layout of whats gonna be going on:
heres some specs for the monitor:
you can see i plan on including both a 360 and mini-pc (not the one pictured, most likely custom build) as inputs for the monitor
for the 360:
- will be connected via hdmi cable
- audio will be run using the rca adapter then an rca to 3.5mm cord to aux 1 on radio
- powered by a DC to AC inverter (aiming for ~400w inverter)
- i will remove the dvd drive from the console itself and mount it somewhere in the cabin (probably in the glove box, or arm rest if i buy one)
the PC will be similar:
- connected to monitor via VGA cable
- additional USB cable run to monitor for touch control
- 3.5 mm cord run to aux 2 on radio
- will be powered by the same inverter as 360
- one USB extended and mounted in the center (already there)
when it all comes together, the 360 and PC will be mounted in the trunk (debating on either the back seat or off to the side on the floor).
running cables wont be a problem, i've been in and out under the carpet and rear seat
it all seems a bit much, but any audio guru probably knows that its pretty much straight forward wiring, mounting the monitor in the dash cleanly will be the toughest task
i'm asking you guys to give this a look over and to please ask me some questions or any comments incase i need to make some changes
thanks to all that reply
