Getting ready to do a custom install on a 1991 Caprice,
and need some advice before I start. First of all, getting ready to put in 1 Pioneer flip out, 2 Visor tv's,
2 front headrest tv's, 2 rear headrest tv's, 1 rearview mirror tv, and a 22" lcd flat screen tv in the trunk lid.
I've got to Farenheit video amplifiers, Stinger video cables, and planning to run all the power source and ground wires together. Is there anything else I need to ensure that I don't run into any problems? Also, should I ground all the tv's as short as possible, seperately, or should I connect them all together to one ground point? Planning on also facing 3 12" subs firing foward in the trunk. Does anybody have any experience in putting a tv of this size (22"), in the trunk lid with subs? I am hopeful that the pressure from the subwoofers won't crack the lcd? Any advice and answers are greatly appreciated.

Thsonnen you must be from the south.  I to have a bubble that I'm going to glass out the trunk.  What 12's are you running? With all those tv's I hope you have it sitting on some Hi Tops.

Yeah he's got be from down here. We're the only ones that squeeze in more screens than passengers. How heavy is that screen? If its heavy you may need to upgrade whatever holds the deck lid up. I'd make the screen grounds as short as you can.

From the East Coast, North Carolina to be exact. The tv for the trunk lid is quite heavy, and I am planning to add an actuator on the lid or perhaps some type of shocks that are found on most hatchbacks. So you say to
keep the tv's ground as short as possible and seperate?

I don't think it matters if they are seperate or not. If you happen to have two right next to each other, ground em together. I just wouldn't run a ground from a visor screen to the trunk.

yeah, but that is what can make a POS car not look like such a POS to someone that can appreciate a good install; unless it is a POS install in a POS car, then I think the car should be brought out into the woods, tied to a tree and put down (you know to put it out of it's misery).
 
it sounds like he has some big plans for this one though.
eh? what did you just say?

for me a good install has to include a nice car, the car attracts people to the install.  But hey, if someone comes to my shop with a 90 ford tempo wanting a $10 000 system ,i will not argue , just make the payment to me hehe.
