DVD/LCD install and amp install help

Aight so heres the deal, a friend of mine is hooking me up huge with a pyle single din fold out tv and a single din pyle indash dvd/mp3/cd player. I know the product is crap but he is hooking me up so much that i could not turn it down and hell it is worth it to see if i really want to put a tv in the car anyway.

My problem lies here. Currently i have two xtant amps in the car, one for mids and highs and the other for the sub. the unit i am using right now has two RCA outputs (high pass and low pass), the new pyle player only has 1 rca set of outputs. How will i wire this up, do i simply run the single RCA to the rear and then split to two and two, or will i lose the mids and highs? or the sub? any help is appreciated.

Also anyone use that double din install kit yet that was posted last weekend yet? Wondering how the fit is on it. Thanks for the help!

yeah, grab an FM modulator and wire the DVD out to it. itll play through your aftermarket radio's FM player. the sound quality wont be any worse than the quality of the video, and probbaly still alot better!

Do you want to be able to control you sub level separate from your mids and highs? If you do I don’t think you can just split the cables. I kinda have the same set up as what you are looking to install. But I don’t have my amps and subs installed. My head unit only has one pre out. I have talked to a few shops and they can put in some sort of module that will allow me to have two amps to control the subs separate from my mids and highs. Also I have the double din kit it works good had to trim a little to fit my the dvd/mp3 player but looks nice check out my pics.

if one of yoru amps has preouts on it, you cna daisychain teh amps all together without using splitters.

otherwiose, its no big deal to get a set
