Well I am about to order this screen. It will be put in my overhead console in the rear compartment. http://www.sounddomain.com/sku/CLAVMA5091

I have a couple of questions.

1. Will this 5" screen be big enough for say 3 or 4 players to play the x-box? I know bigger is better but am I just wasting my $$$ to make it fit in my overhead console so It will be out of site and no one will know I even have a screen? Or should I forget the whole fitting in there and get a 10" and make it fit right up behind the console "for rear passengers only"?

2. What do I need to hook my x-box to this screen?

3. How do I get the sound from the x-box to my H/U? I dont think my Panasonic CQ-DF401U has an aux input.

4. Is there anything else I am forgetting?
X-box
Screen
Power Inverter-what is the best way to wire this?

Thanks for any help...

Hey..
First, i have played ps2 on a 5.6 eclipse screen and two players was a bit tough. Not impossible, just a little small, so i imagine 3-4 on a 5" would be real hard. Although thats your call. But i will say you'll definitely want something in your view for times where your not driving but maybe just kickin back.

Second, the only thing that will go from your x-box to the screen will be one yellow video cable, unless the screen has a built in speaker and you want to use it, then the red and white audio cables need to go there as well.

Third, if your deck doesnt have a aux input your gonna have to use a fm modulator. They are not the best sounding, but they work if you have no alternative.

Now if you want this x-box to be a permanent thing you can hard wire the inverter to a positive and negative and just use the switch on the inverter to turn it on and off. Or just use the cigarette plug as a temporary thing for in and out use. Any other questions just shoot.
