ya, only downside is the front seats cant reclive very far back, they are reclined a little in the pic, durning those long drives, got to lean the seat back a little for the back. | |

I'm glad you did this! Very interesting. I was thinking about this when I first got my box and I sat in the backseat. It was never my plan to put a moniter there but I figured since the speakers are in the "trunk" I could build one with 2 6x9's in the bottom.
Looking great so far. Can't wait to see he finished product. What are you going to wrap it with?
That looks so sweet. Wish I was able to do that! | |

I suggest some recessed cupholders somewhere in front of where the monitor will be...
Should be pretty badass when it's all said and done... | |

Thanks for all the comments!!!
I plan on wrapping it in leather, to match the seats. the rear seats will be done leather in the future as well. Id paint it, but takes a bit more time than im wanting at the moment. I guess im going to add cup holders. The are going to sit a little back from the screen, side by side. They are going to be recessed, i got a cool idea for it!! Ill keep yall posted!! | |
