Dang... I completely forgot about this thread... and y'all seem to be moving right along with it. Of course, my motor swap had taken first priority but the carputer is partially assembled on the bench as we speak. I have compiled pretty much the whole system at this point...

  • Via Epia M10000 Nehimiah mainboard
  • Slimline slot load DVD ROM CD/RW drive
  • 120 Gig HDD
  • 3.5" FDD
  • 10.4" Datalux LMV10R
  • XMPCR satalite radio
  • Cheese-box (to play my reverse camera to my VGA monitor)
  • Parallel relay board to interface with windows and such
  • Audigy 2SZ Platinum PCI sound card (6.1, THX certified, DVD Audio, and much much more)
  • Alpine MRV-F540 (four channel amp... front and rear main)
  • Alpine MRV-T320 (two channel amp... front and rear center channels)
  • Two (2) Alpine MRD-M501 (sub amps)
  • Two (2) pair Alpine SPR 174a (6.5" coax... front mains, front center and rear center)
  • SPR-136a (5.25 coax rear main)
  • Two (2) Alpine SWR1241D (Type R 12" subs)
  • Two Alpine TME-760 (6.5" LCD monitors for rear passengers)


I'm probably forgetting something... but who knows... anyway, since I have pretty much gutted the interior of the VX during my motor swap... rewiring pretty much EVERYTHING onboard... and getting rid of airbags... I think its safe to say I am free to mod my dash as EXTENSIVELY as I wish... without any further regrets! LMAO!

If those of you who are interested in this type of project and you haven't already done so, go check out http://www.mp3car.com ... there is TONS of info there along with pictures of what people have alreedy done. There are some really kewl interfaces for the carputers as well... MediaEngine, frodoplayer, and MediaCar to name a few. These systems are really awsome! Check them out if you haven't already... TTYL!
