ok heres the thing. im running a ps2 in my friends car with an alpine cva-1003 up front and 2 headrest monitors do i really need a video amp. i thought i didbut what happens if u just "Y" the siginal it will degrade right.
also theres no way to have a output from the alpine to the back screens withoutthat expansion box right. so u cant see like the radio screen and cd changer screen in the back monitors correct???
thanks

i have a PS2 in my truck, and i only have 2 screens. at first i tryed to use just a simple Y-Splitter, and the image became very distorted. so i bought a video amp., and it worked flawlessly. and the video amp was only like 25 bucks on carstereoexpo.com. it has on input and 4 outputs, for up to 4 screens. i would save yourself some trouble, and get the video amp.
