Question video questions

a few quickies here. I have an in dash monitor w/ tv tuner and i also have two 5.6" monitors that i want connected. I want to be able to connect my PS2 and a CD changer to it later. The monitor i have now says it can hold up to three more screens. I emailed the company and they said i might need a video amplifier. I don't think so though.

1. How does a PS2 get powered?
2. How will the sound be affected by my sub and amp that i currently have?
3. Is it possible mount the two headrest monitors without cutting the headrest?
4. Is it possible to keep the head unit and add my monitor also? I have two in dash units and only one dash hole. Problem?

1.-The PS2 can be powered with an inverter, or sony just came out with a 12V adpt. you can get it at any store that sells PS2.
2.-not sure wht you mean by sound being affected.
3.-it is not possible to mount screens without cutting, however you can now get headrest pre-made with screens already in them. it will save you time if you were to do the work yourself. it also lets the car go back to stock.
4.-need more info for this one and also #2. what year/make/model of car, and what kind of equipment do you currently have working in the car and what do you want to add?

a 98 civic.

I currently have a Kenwood Mp3/Cd head unit that i'd like to keep if at all possible. I also have an Eclipse 5/4 amp that powers a JL sub. I have another smaller Eclipse 2/1 amp that i want to power my other speakers. My stereo sound gets pretty loud but will the tv sound get that high? where can i set/get those headrest with the monitors in them?

you might want to consider selling that headunit and getting the KENWOOD unit with the CD/DVD/MP3 player w/monitor built in.
I can get the headrests from a supplier. so I wpuld imagine your local car stereo store could get them as well.
your sould should not be affected by putting in a dvd player/PS2

it,s pretty expensive, look on kenwood's web site. it also has an ptional tuner as well. the headrests I would need to get a price on, tomorrow.
the kenwood deck I belive is about $2,500, but it has a built in tuner not optional,
