ok i am definitely a newbie, but....

ok i am planning on installing a kenwood or pioneed indash dvd/monitor, but i am doing the subs/amp/ monitors thing as well. i am looking for 2 things with this post.

A) how do i wire the headrest monitors to the hu to recieve signal and operate while simulataneously being able to use the subs/amp

B) what is a recommendation for a monitor for me to install in my headrests that are reasonably priced and are good quality. i had pyles before that were installed in a stereo shop and they lasted a month before the blew something and no longer powered up.

thanx for any help you can give me---- Greggk

A) If you have more tan 2 devices that requires the remote turn on to operate, then you must use a relay to boost the 12 volt signal from the remote turn on lead. Wire a relay like this:

85 : Remote turn on lead
86 : GROUND
87 : Fused 12 volts constant
30 : to ALL devices that require a remote turn on lead
87a : NOT USED

B) Necvox or Icon-TV are some fairly good ones that I've used in the past that haven't given me problems.

I second the icon reccomendation. A shop that I used to work at swore by them, and put at least 2 into every youkanaliburbalade that pulled into the place.
