[QUOTE="hoss, post: 1836897, member: 549860"] that doesent really have anything to do with the argument, he isnt taking teh CD player and rotating it 90 degrees while it is playing, so the "centrifugal" force doesent apply at all. and if you want to get really technical, there is no such thing as "centrifugal" force [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] . the only additional forces that would be applied would be the gravitational force in a direction that the CD player is not used to. what does this mean for the CD player? the possibility of skipping since the laser mechanism is going to be jolted in new directions that it wasnt designed for, the CD eject motor working against the extra force of ejecting a CD with more resistance than it is used to, and perhaps some other forces that the chasis/mechanics might not be used to. the ejector motor, shouldnt be an issue. most CD players eject with a significant pressure compared to the weight of a CD. the mechanics/chasis/laser mechanism, these are usuall well designed to stand up to shock since the design is MOBILE audio. my oppinion, shouldnt be an issue at all. just make sure the unit is secure, and that there isnt any stress on the wiring coming out of the back. this means tie it up properly, and make sure the unit isnt resting on the wires. do this and you should have no problems whatsoever. i had my alpine 9815 installed 90 degrees vertically in my last vehicle for nearly three years without a single problem out of it [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
