My family wants to have Movie/DVD Player setup. I need your inputs, Gurus!
Let me answer standard questions:
1. My Car: SX4 Zxi
2. My current setup: None for video. Nothing changed so far wrt audio setup (I am ok with stock HU and speakers).
3. My Budget: To be frank, I haven't decided it yet. I want to know how much a decent setup would cost. From your replies, I can come to know of it to decide.
4. Do I drive most of the time or is it chauffer driven? I drive it always.
5. Your Music preferences (Genres, favorite artists, etc.): I think this is not applicable for video setup.
6. Am I ready to sacrifice boot space/modify door panels? : Since I am looking for 'roof mounted DVD player', boot space needn't be compromised, but may be ok with door panels modification.
Now, these are few questions I can think of:
1. Which company player is good? Model & Cost?
2. How much will insurance cost for the player? (I've read parked threads)
3. To start with simple setup, can the player output be directed to stock speakers? If not, what setup will be needed & cost?
4. I hope 'roof mounted' one is economical & better than the headrest or other setups, is it right?
5. In bumpy rides, will there be any buffering/delay in playback?
6. Lastly, which is good place to get it done in Bangalore? |
front screens, HUs not recommended for drivers, risk of life. roof top is good for family. single screen is better if there is usually a single person behind, so the screen faces him or her directly. it's also more comfortable on long drives to see, and with individual headphones, you don't disturb everyone, the others can doze off and you can watch the movie.
get a good DVD HU. then get screens in grey. they are very expensive officially. you'll need a scosche kit which will fit in sx4 OEM space and give you a neat DIN slot/s. if you are keen to play pirated DVDs then get an amp and upgrade speakers, as most of them would not have clean hi-level recordings. if not, then you may use the existing speaker setup. though it'll be better to upgrade.
