I'm not sure I understand what you mean by this.....

Are you removing your head unit and attempting to power the speakers from the motherboard/soundcard directly?

If so, that won't work. The computer sound output is "line level" and needs to be amplified in order to be audible.

also, your install white looks awesome - especially I like the attention to detail, I am most certainly going to go that way on my install as well

How come american versions dont have the batteries in diffrent places. Anyways on my setup I have two 150 watt amps, each channel puts out 75 watts (yes they really do, for people that think amps so small cant do so.) Im going to try to find the store that sold them. I know the amps were made for motorcycles. They are about as big as my old Sprint PPC 6700. I see that ebay has even more powerful versions 300watts, but I think thats over kill. http://cgi.ebay.com/300W-2CH-MOTORCY...QQcmdZViewItem

I'll show you the connector once I get it from the dealer

I just got the memory and the IDE to USB adapter

pictures will follow as soon as I get home

I decided not to go with extra long IDE cable following complaints of poor speed

well, after total mess-up with wrong HD, I ended up having to return the damn thing and now I must wait for another one to arrive

I bought IDE to USB adapter for my media drive - picture bellow



and my memory - so I wont be lost any more



in meantime, I got some time off and decided to fab housing for my components - pictures bellow

first, I went to Home Depot and bouht this piece of plywood



nice and thick to support all stuff I'm going to install



since I'm planning to keep my PC in trunk I had to measure the top and cut the plywood to custom fit the opening



then I cut the front side under 45 degree angle

on my way to Home Depot I also got this video signal amplifier with 1 input to 4 outputs to get optimal picture quality
