Started getting in all the parts this week that I ordered for my setup.

Xenarc 7" TSV
Opus 150W power supple
Slim-line CD-RW/DVD drive
Epia 1Ghz MB
512MB ram
120 gig hard drive with 8mb buffer

MB Quart componet speakers for the front
MB Quart composites for the rear
Pioneer amp to power those

2 JL Audio 10W3v2 subs
JL Audio 500/1 amp

And I am sure I am forgetting some stuff....lol. I cant wait to start doing this, its going to be amazing. I'll also me running my MAP ECU and wideband O2 through it which is really sweet.

From the looks of the components you want to use, it looks like you're off to a great start.

I too wanted to use the Xenarc touch sensitive screen for something like this. But I could never figure out how to also keep the AM/FM portion of the stereo. Do you have something in mind or are you going to forgo that and just stick to CD's and MP3's?

For now just CD's and MP3s, but they make AM/FM tuner cards for PCs, so if I really feel the need I can get one of those. Or go with satelitte radio down the road.

Hey man,

I have absolutely no clue what most of that stuff is - but I give you mad props for taken this task upon yourself. Please keep us updated as I for one would like to see the final outcome.

Regards and good luck,

I saw the Carputer in a friend's Accord... very interesting! Good luck with the install and keep us updated.

Will do

The custom sub enclosure in the trunk is going to take the most time, followed by molding in the screen.

Actually yeah I'd be really interested to see how you go about fitting the screen! What are the specs on it? I haven't heard of the brand before so I wouldn't know hehehe... 7" I thought that was always going to be a hassle in our cars, I assumed 5.6" was the go?

good luck mteele! doing my version 3 of the carputer...

good choice of products so far...you're going to need a GPS unit, don't forget that...

woohoo! another carputer started for the SC's...

Alright! Another carputer going into an SC! I just finished my install. I'll be starting another thread on it. It looks very similar to my setup. I ended up going with the Lilliput over the Xenarc due to the $$ difference. So far so good. I'm happy with it. Keep us all updated.

Yeah, I ended up getting the Xenarc for only $357 shipped, so I figured whyt not.

Yeah, I know I need the GPS unit as well, trying to fit it into my budget .
