Not dumb at all

Yes can be done... My wifes car has a avx2 in the front with two sunvisor mounted Toshiba 9.2" screens in them... plus the two in the head rests.... the screens in the headrests have an video input which allows the rear passanger to plug in a game console, digital camers or video camera, IPOD VIDEO etc which is great

Also the AVX2 allows for dual zone meaning the say the rear screens have a DVD playing on them with sound coming via the Head phone that I have hooked up for the rear passangers and the to the front you can have a CD, Tuner etc playing and coming through the speakers.

Though getting on to your system... really need to know what the Head unit is so can work out the wiring for you, rcas etc

First thing's first... get rid of the Boss gear and get put something decent into your system. That 500W amp is only pushing out a fraction of that amount.. they like to use big (fake) numbers to sell their stuff... at least look for gear that displays their WRMS rating, much more important than crappy W max figures.
Secondly... anything is possible when it comes to electronics. Some things are just more complicated than others, but there is always a way.

But yeah I'd definitely be spending my money on replacing that Boss gear before I started putting screens in. That's just me though... if your happy with the Boss stuff then keep it, but you'd be amazed how much better it can sound with decent equipment. Look at Jaycar for decent gear at a good price, or talk to CAFO about the EFX gear he stocks, he rates it higher than Jaycar's gear at around the same cost.

hooking up system

if it is a slave screen which does not fold in, YOu can take out the heater vents above head unit and mount with brackets. If it folds into a din size i.e same size as headunit, then you can mount head unit directly below where it is now by cutting the back part of the pocket. if your original head unit has and auxillary audio input you can run audio from your ps2 to that. If not you will have to get an fm modulator and set a frquency on your radio to get audio. you will need to split the video out from ps2 to 3 outputs using two female to two male rca splitters. Bearing in mind that video signal quality will be slightly affected by sending it too 3 screens at once. if your boss amp is a 4 channel then you can run the 6 x 9's and sub of it. you will need two 5 mtr rca leads for that and 6 and a half mtrs of 8 gauge power wire. you will need a 3 mtr rca lead going to one of your video signal splitters run down centre console, under seat rails and up into seat for your screens. the ps2 can fit either in glove box, under glove box or under seat. also you will need 5 mtrs of trigger wire for the amp about 2-3 metres of at least 16 gauge speaker wire for your 6 x 9's and sub.

You would be going from bad to worse or bad to bad with going from BOSS to RESPONSE or JAYCAR though that is me.

TOSHIBA are the only ones to get as they are made in JAPAN and will last forever and a day

The CHEAP CRAP coming out of CHINA especially the LG screens last 3 -6 months on average from daily use and you end up with a green and blue line about 2 inches wide down the screens

The Toshiba 9.2" including the headrest are $480.00 a pair.

Personally I would not touch BOSS, RESPONSE or JAYCAR as from what we see and hear coming out of the speakers, sub and amp it OK though for the money are alot better systems on the market.

alright cheers mate with these screens with the head rest do they already come mounted into the head rest and where can i get the pair for $480????
