who has a 7 inch tablet instead of a double din stereo?

this is great way of doing it?

will need an amp somehow/somewhere?

can it all be installed in the console?

I've got one, and so does vectose, they're awesome, takes a little massaging to get it to fit, I originally had mine wired into a head unit's AUX port which was recessed behind the tablet, but I recently installed an amp and wired it direct to that.

I have mine connected to a head unit behind the tablet, and an IR repeater in the air vent if I ever have to control the head unit for some reason.

I like having it wired through the head unit rather than wired to direct to amp as I like having the tuneability of the head unit. (I do have a rather expensive head unit though)

Best tablet to do it with is one that doesn't have any physical buttons on the front. I use a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2

Yup, I used a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 (original) and now have a 2012 Nexus 7.

I had a cheapo Sony head unit behind it originally, and it was really average...

Guys

Would you mind posting a picture of the tab sitting on the middle console please? Cheers.

Looks good! Any chance you're able to show the cabling/mounting behind it?
