Default is this possible?

i want to buy a xenarc 7" flush mount monitor for my sc. i want to put the changer into the glove department. i was wondering if i can hook up a cd/dvd changer to it and from the changer to the two amps i will be running? if not is there another alternate route with a flush mount monitor.
i have thought of two solutions but not sure if they will work.
1 is flush monitor to changer to two amps
2 is flush monitor to dvd deck to two amps

To have a monitor, you have to have a brain unit. That is where your cd/dvd cahnger will hook into. The brain also has RCA pre-outs so you can use new amps.

so neither one of those solutions would work?

no, a plain monitor by itself will get you nowhere. You have to have the processing unit to go with it. Now days you can find some good hardware for around 700 bucks.

Pick up a Kenwood DDX-7015 2din DVD player head unit and a Kenwood 6 or 10 disk changer. The changer can be mounted in the glove box with very little modification and the DDX-7015 will give you a 6.5" touchscreen monitor to run your system and play DVD's. I have this in my SC. It looks awesome! You can find them on ebay for about $1k or less. I think I may have seen one here in the classified section for sale as well.
