Car Video help
Alright, I've never done any kind of car video installation before but I'm an electrician so it shouldn't really be a problem as far as the wireing goes. What I need to know is the basic equipment that I'll need to complete my project. This isn't for my Tib but for a friends jeep. I want to install a monitor in each headrest and connect them to a gamecube. Aside from the gamecube and monitors themselves what do I need? DC/AC inverter obviously, but what kind how many watts? This sort of stuff is where I need the help. Also if anyone can answer my questions could you recommend some websites or brands of products I could use to purchase the equipment. Thanks guys.

But is an inverter all I'll really need? Cause if thats all I need then thats easy. I was looking around at some inverters and all I could find were ones that plug into the cig. lighter. I want one that will be conected through a fusable link to the battery. Where can I find inverters like that?

If you are looking for a good deal, you might consider one of these.
I can't vouch for the quality of those monitors personally, but that seller has been great to deal with, and when I was doing research for an overhead monitor nothig else compared to those prices for the specs.

ok I installed the monitor and inverter. here is my new problem.... I need AUDIO! The monitor doesn't have speakers and I don't want to use headphones all the time. Now I ran wires from the output of the game cube to the 2 rear speakers of the vehicle, the audio signals are getting to the speakers and you can sometimes kind of hear the audio. Now I know the signal needs to be amplifed to work like this. But thats my problem. How can I get the sound from the gamecube to work on these two rear speakers? Does someone know how I can put some kind of amplifier inline on the output along with a potentiometer/rheostat to adjust the volume?
I hope you guys can uderstand what I'm talking about, its hard to explain... : (
