the only bad thing is (depending how much power the invertor produces) the invertor will over heat and shut its self down and u have to wait ages for it to cool down to start playin again.. as the ps2 required a fair but of power to run.. as i had one in my car and it only lasted like 1hr before it wood shut down and it if its a realli hot day then forget about it..

i dunno who got u the stuff but yeh. inverters do get hot but cheap ones will shut down on ya etc.
and also if we connected it for him n it over heats and stuff we're not gonna tell him to go get f***ed we're more than happy to re do it.
also how much is a fair bit of power u think it runs lets see if your right

thats a 50-50 chance.
if mounting on the dash i say go the old one but thing is is there enough space inside that area of the dash. sometimes u got like beams n sh*t in it.
if it fits then we'll be make`n a custom plate to mount it.
one other question do u use your glove box if not u can mount it there. "slimline"

I've removed my PS2, was slimline in the glove box. Was dodgily wired onto the steering column. Not sure if I'll put it back in or not though. Would probably prefer a modded xbox or something... but meh I dunno. Other things taking priority atm

They're a fun thing to have for a while though (:

sorry no pics of it coz install was only done a month ago but now im gonna use fiberglass. so i'll put pics up after its done in a week or 2 starting the new install agains tomorrow.

hey boarsai. from research a ps2 doesnt us as much power compared to a xbox.
next time u do something just hide them where the headunit space is or up behind the glove box.

Battery would drain from full to nothing in about 5 days. Wiring was bad, the ps2 itself was fine... the powerpack which was under the seat IIRC didn't overheat. I'd love to see what kinda heat an XB360 would generate...

I ended up having to jump start my car if I left it for over 5 hours :P The wiring in my car was *absolutely* horrid.

PS2's are fine, just not sure I can be bothered putting it back in is all :) I didn't make use of it enough to really waste money atm, want to do some other things such as new front bar and such. However if I had money to burn, I'd sure as hell wack the ps2 back in :D

Bit of wank factor... but also can be handy when bored waiting for someone :D
