Very very nice man. What was the trouble you had with your speakers, I'm guessing the mounting adapters? Mine were pretty easy to do. Which Alpines do you have?

Yep, I needed help installing the speakers (as I had never done that before) and if it wasn't for Aerl, wouldn't have had the home made speaker mounts in the front done. He ingeniously made them from sheet metal. The sheet metal mounts to the speaker mounts and the speaker mounts to the sheet metal. Walla! It works very well.

I'll have to take a video tomorrow. I'll show you guys what the DVD player looks like .

[SwissFerdi]

Well, I hadn't done speakers before either. Then again, I bought them from Crutchfield so I had instructions, and also mounting adapters. Good stuff though.

They're red rally ones from Britain with "celica" in white on each one.

[Smaay]

Haha, ok guys... for like the 3rd time, they are not 7th gen wheels , they're SS-IIIs. And yes, they were powder coated white.

That's good to hear you got a new antenna. You'll like it a lot more.

Power is easy. I have a power inverter that will power through the cigarette lighter. Actually, if you've ever seen the Saturn on a TV screen, having it on a smaller screen will probably make the resolution look a lot nicer, not worse haha. It'll work, trust me. You don't need to see as much to play Sega Rally than you would to play a game like Call of Duty or something. Trust me, it'll work . I just need to come up with a clean way to mount this. I was thinking of putting it in the trunk, mount it on the plywood spare tire door, and then extra long cables for the power, av cords, and controller and run them under the carpet of the car.

I know, it sounds like overkill. But it'd be awesome.

[96stgreendemon]

got an idea, put it in the glove box or under the kick pannel

got an idea, put it in the glove box or under the kick pannel

Here's my issue. I want to be able to run the AV cord to the auxiliary cord, and run the power cord to the car lighter in a tasteful way. I can'd do it behind the dash though as I need to be able to disconnect the wire so that I can use it for my iPhone's music. See my dilemma? I'm afraid if I do the glovebox, the chords would just hang from the glovebox to the center console and that would look pretty crummy.

Any ideas on how that could work?

[SwissFerdi]

I understand your problem with the dash, but don't mount it in the trunk...then it'll just turn into dope-balla-subbed up-neawwn trunk status. Not good on a Celica.

I say mount it between the rear seats and center console, over the 'hump.' Make an enclosure of some kind, mount the console under one of the seats, and mount the screen over the aforementioned hump. That way you also have a playing seat. If you could make some kind of swivel mount...it would be even more awesome. Access from all four seats.

[CastrolCelica]

and mount the screen over the aforementioned hump

Have you even bothered paying attention to the last couple pages? I don't think the screen will be in the back seat.
Also, I have no idea what you were trying to say about the trunk, but if i THINK I'm understanding you.. it's not going to become some ricey sub woofer crowded trunk. Think of what I'm saying as more like a trunk mounted CD player. Visualize it? There ya go...

Well, it's our work parking lot (ie: personal property), or else I wouldn't.

No worries lol, I didn't. Glad you like how it's turned out so far.
