kingsuv Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Ok so I picked up 2 Alpine TME-M760 monitors last week and they came with everything but the brackets to mount them into the seats. They look like the were glued into the headrests of the first owners car. I'm having a hell of a time find the brackets so I guess I will have to fab something up. What have you guys done in the past? I have the ford hi-back seats, all in one headrest not the two peice. What are your thoughts? Designing, building, and shipping boxes. Yahoo IM - kingsuv00If the listening level is too loud, please inform the driver, so he can promptly pull over, and let you out. not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernesto Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Before you do any thing I would check with Alpine and tell them what you just told us...Maybe they could send you some brackets... The reason I hate buying use headrest is because of that same reason...Some times they fall out and people get some crazy glue and glue it onto the brackets so it won't ever come out again.

kingsuv Posted December 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 I will call Alpine on Tuesday. I did look through PAC Parts to see if I could order them and they have been discontunied. They are an older model so I'm wondering if the new touch screen 6.5 will use the same brackets. Designing, building, and shipping boxes.

LSN2meBoom916 Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 I dunno how much exposure you've had to this so i'll just throw as much at is as poss I guess and hope some of it helps: http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/ab_parts_acc...4303447,00.html http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=36438 http://www.audioinmotion.com/index.asp?Pag...on=Custom&ID=14 Those are all "surface mounted" setups..which is easier, but if you really wanna hear "wow" from crowds, you can embed the trim ring in the headrest, then tuck the vinyl/leather or w/e material behind/under THAT for a more seamless install, like this: My bro's shop here in Sacramento usually does em like this cuz they do upholstry all day and cutting open/re-sewing a headrest is no biggie for them, but if you're not feeling ambitious w/ it just the surface mount should be cool.

kingsuv Posted January 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 I like the way the surface mounts better then the tucked. But those look damn good, a lot better then many i've seen. I was thinking of building a frame a lot like the onw in link 2 then tuck the leather inbetween the frame and monitor Designing, building, and shipping boxes.
