The Big Chris Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 The wall with my 2 DC Lvl 5 18"s will be done in my 01 crown vic police interceptor in the next two weeks. After that is complete I am starting the fiber glassing on the interior. Doing the dash, center console and door panels. My question is tho, how do I incorporate a tv in my dash with so much bass? I am thinking the screen will be pretty susceptible to breaking under the amount of pressure coming from the 18"s especially in a wall. I was looking at doing a 32" LCD from best buy. With my discount I can get one for around $325 there. I am thinking I would mount it in the center of the dash, then fiberglass the dash around it and keep it in the case the tv comes in. It would have the same look/effect as a raw screen (no trim around the screen) just the fiberglass would cover up the border. Whats anyone elses ideas and thoughts of durability of a screen with bass. (P.S.- this is a show car so thats why I am putting a 32" in the dash) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(P.S.- this is a show car so thats why I am putting a 32" in the dash) A bigger screen means more surface area, which means it's much more likely to break from the base. IMO, 32" in the dash is too big, regardless of what vehicle you have. Do something like a 22" in the dash plus a 12" in each sun visor. Much better looking IMO.

Basshead08 Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Yea I would think that would be very dangerous for the tv. Never tried anything like that but maybe there would be some way to brace the shit out of it.

12voltz+- Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 id say it can be done if done right.... its not a glass tv so your safe there of coure... but you have to worry about the tv flexing and breaking .. so as long as you build a sold very braced frame that your gunna glass the tv in to you should be fine just add support along the back and some deadinging in the casing of the frame... but be sure to leave some way for it to breath.... id say go for it take your time make it happen !

The Big Chris Posted December 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 yeah i got a 32" dynex in my room and love itwill this show car be driven anywhere other then at shows? o but of course it would. Im just saying its not gunna be a daily driver id say it can be done if done right.... its not a glass tv so your safe there of coure... but you have to worry about the tv flexing and breaking .. so as long as you build a sold very braced frame that your gunna glass the tv in to you should be fine just add support along the back and some deadinging in the casing of the frame... but be sure to leave some way for it to breath.... id say go for it take your time make it happen ! Ya im not worried about bracing and the structure of it cause thats a given. I am just wondering about the screen just being exposed to the bass waves. If I just secure it in there tight enough then that portion should be ok. Im just worred about the screen integrity itself being exposed to such bass levels, ya feel me?
