Question Rear entertainment

Please help! Someone here had a rear 2 monitor dvd system in their X. I thought i saved the link but i did not. Sorry for the redundancy. If anyone can please ans a few questions i would appreciate it.

1. In the audivox 2 monitor system am i correct in remembering that the rear a/c-heat controls stayed in place. The only difference was that you lose a center vent?

2. Do you need to run any additional wires to the units or is the power wire for the rear heat enough for both?

3. Where is the DVD mounted?

Thank you.

I ahve the audiovox and the power was routed up front to the fuse panel along with the RF feed for the surround sound. I just added a Three guage unit to the A-Pillar and traced the wires from that back.

The URL for the phots is: http://www.superford.org/registry/ve...s18=&s19=&s20=

If you can't find it on the superforg.org registry page under The Bus Beast, send me an emial and I'll send the photos to you. The answer to the first question was, yes the heater control stay, but lost the use of the middle vent (no big deal) The kids and their friends love the system. On long haul trips with the travel trailer, the middel row watches movies with the RF head phones and the back row palys video games with direct plug in head phones to the back of the display, I have a power inverted from radio shack (150W) unit to run AC for any game system. Neat set up.

Email me thru my profile in case you can't find the photos.

That is a nice setup. I am confused, though. You mention 'surround sound' in the photographs, but the setup appears to simply go through an RF modulator. As far as I am aware, an FM modulator can only produce a stereo output. The factory headunit would not be able to process a surround sound signal, either.

Just curious about how this works.

The rear stereo can be switched to be a seperate set of speakers, not sure how it works. Guess it's the way they can separate the front speakers from the rear, when the people in the back of the bus want to listen to something different. It's not like a true surround sound from a home entertainment system, but does a good job of front back , left right separation. Before the days of surround sound the old quadrophonic systems operated on the same principal of sending different sounds to each of the speakers.
