Alright, appreciate it. Now the possibility of a carputer has entered my mind.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

Just curious. Why compare a mid level Pioneer (Premier) with Eclipse's flagship.??//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif If you want to comapre the 2 why not weigh the Eclipse 7000 to the Premier 880 or 980?? That would be more even I would think. Personally the 880 is a much better bang for the buck than the 7000. Might as well compare apples to apples instead of apples to oranges.

I liked the looks... and didnt want 980 because its just extra money for the bluetooth. I dont know how much I really like the look of the 880 myself. And the aesthetics of the head unit is a big thing for me I guess.

You dont use it in competition shit tho do you?

Also, Im afraid of putting it in and then having it jacked by the scallywags around here. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif

No, I don't compete anymore.

Do you use the flipout touch screen/mounted/or in dash double din one?

Oh and do you have a thread of where you built that bad boy I wanna see some picturas!

It's the Blue HHR, Pathfinder is my old truck

I created a bunch of threads a while back...do an advanced search for 'carputer' with my screen name and you should find em...

Looks pretty nice man. Do you have your system directly linked up to the carputer? Or do you have a CD player that links up to it too?

 

[Randy Savage 5,000+ posts]

I don't have a system. Stock speakers are ran through an Alpine amp that hooks up to the PC's sound card.

Ah gotcha, If I wanted to be able to still do comps and the such and have a whole system running through there would it require a CD player?

No, not necessarily.

You can always use a DVD drive though. I have one but have yet to actually install the drive...

Yah I was looking at mp3car.com they had the Xenarc flip screen with the custom built in DVD drive, that looked real clean. I was considering doing something like that, buying the flipscreen installing the DVD in it, then building the carputer with a massive HD and such. Then having either an old Eclipse or lower end one. I just dont know if I have the space for it... cuz I cant tell if my truck is double din... Its weird.

EDIT: Although Im pretty sure its not, Crutchfield when I did what fits your car, said I couldnt fit in the double din vid screens.
