currently im running a eclipse hu with jl components and a rockford amp but im not running any subs right now. well i want to get into video.. i am building a video setup in my 2000 civic coupe. so far i got the pioneer avd-w6200 lcd, most likely i m getting the pioneer dvh-p5000mp HU. im go with one screen for now i ll probably add 1 or 2 more in the back. i am also throwing in my xbox in the car. what will i need to get to run the xbox. what power supply? what will i need to so my audio will run through my amp/speaker. how will i run my video seperate from my hu? what other stuff will i need or any other suggestion would be great help. Thanks!

To get the XBOX powered up you are going to need a DC-to-AC power inverter, check wattage requirement on the back of the XBOX to see how big of a power inverter you are going to need.
To run the XBOX signal through your speakers: if you have inputs on your head unit (Pioneer HU's require an adapter piece) you can use them. Otherwise, you will need a FM modulator (you can get wired or wireless ones).
If you are planning to run more than 2 screens I suggest that you get a video amplifier.
Plan out your video system before you start buying stuff. I have had many customers bring me a couple of monitors, video amplifier, and want to have ability to run different sources to each monitor and wireless headphone capability, and not understand why they need additional parts.
Figure out what it is that you want your video to be capable of doing before you start buying parts you dont need.
