Questions on Installing ICE

[97dsmbishi]

Hey guys,
I'm doing some installing this weekend and I want to make sure I have my shit straight before I start pulling things apart etc.
I'll be installing:
JVC headunit (piece o' cake)
Clarion 6-disc CD changer (POC)
Kenwood 10" sub & amp (POC)
2 5.6" tv's
PS2

Believe it or not, my problem is w/the TV's and the PS2. I know that I'll most likely have to hardwire the tv's and the ps2. Has anyone done this and would like to give me some pointers? Do I have to buy some connectors for the ps2 to hook up to tv? I'll attach pics so you can see what I'm refering to.....the tv has AV prongs that are male....and so does the ps2.....I don't want to run the power to the cig lighter.....I know somebody has already done something similar to this on this site. I could really use your input so I'm not lost on saturday.
Thanks In Advance!

ok..those pics suck....
back of unit.

back of connector:
-----------------------------------------------------------
top left: A/V in top right: To monitor

bottom left: +12V (red) bottom right: Video in
-GND (black)
-----------------------------------------------------------

do the A/V prongs go to the back of the headunit?
the video in would be from the PS2 correct?
If I'm trying to run the PS2 to both screens...what will I need? Is there a kit or something I need?

your in luck... ... i have the same kinda box in my car hooked up to my monitor, basically self explanitory... red and black, power and ground, you can hook them up to cig lighter or anything else, i ran wires from the firewall to the battery for mine tho... the yellow and red av male connectors just are inputs... you hook up a ps2 or something get a female to female connector so you can plug them together. then the video in plug on the bottom right is just if oyu have more than one monitor you want to send video from on to another...

True that. relatively simple & pretty straight forward. I was going to buy an inverter, but my buddy found one laying around in his garage...a 400w unit should be fine i'm sure. Wouldn't happen to have a pic of your set up would you?
I'm definately going to hard wire the set to the battery (i relocated my cig lighter plug & installed my a/f gauge there instead) the plug is hidden behind the dash for use w/my radar detector. = )
any tips you can give me...anything you ran into?
thanks!

i made a quick diagram in mspaint WOO WOO!!! hope it helps... www.angelfire.com/mn2/arcadecontrols/wire.bmp

btw, you dont need audio running through the monitor thats why there is nothing connected to the audio input

i have a 300w inverter in my glovebox, 150w is enough to power a ps2 so you should be fine... my gallery is the only thing i have with pics but should be pretty straight forward. Make sure you run an inline fuse on the inverter and the monitor

Chuck,
Thanks for the diagram (ghetto) , but it did help break all the shit down. Good looking out. I remember looking at your car a while back....really nice job on the screen install.
I'm "planning" on relocating the headunit and installing one of the screens there...and the other on the passenger side some where.

I know about the subs and head units but not the TVs and PS2. If both AV plugs are male, go to Radio Shack or Best Buy and they _might_ have male to male adapters. Also, when ever I have any questions about ICE, I go to http://www.eatel.net/~amptech/elecdisc/caraudio.htm . He has a lot of information there and a bunch of diagrams. Check it out. You just might find what you need.
