The PXA-H701 is a processor that you can use with the W200. It's another $350, but well worth it. Dconder has the same set-up too. Alot of Car Audiophiles use this set up for it's SQ and versatility. Probably the best set-up I've used thus far.

I wish i could afford to nab that unit, i'm pretty sure i can use my amplink with that unit. The new amp im about to get delivered(should be here on tuesday) has an amplink feature that i can hook into most alpine HUs and adjust everything from the head unit...

Yes you can. I forgot you were getting the Alpine amp. Then you could control your amps from the HU.

I only took that off once...a while ago. I can't remember, but it seems like I had to get 2 more screws/bolts off from some odd place on it. Sorry, I'm not more help.

I went out and figured it out, when you pull that cover off you have to take the 2 screws out where the glove box is, and then reach under the dash to the back of the cover by the ac vents and undo those screws, all in all, pain in the ***. I did all that to find out there was not enough room to mount the amp back there and then I had to reattach it so that was fun... I think it would have been impossible if i didnt have monkey arms...

That's what I thought...I knew there were 2 odd placed screws somewhere.

What are the demensions of a ps2?
I would say it was plenty wide enough and tall enough for a ps2. As far as deep you might have had about 6 or 8 inches. Of course you could fab something up to make it fit. There is plenty of room to mount a screen there though...

That might actually fit. The only problem your going to have is access to it. With the dash cover on there is no access to anything back there.

I would have the face of the PS2 showing through the panel. More than likely it will go in the center console. Thanks for the info

You could easily mount it there if you wanted to cut through the panel. There is even mounting brackets back there...
