Question Help with install

Ok, here's my delema. I need to find a good place to install a CD player and a DVD player (In-Dash). I was thinking of putting them both down where the cup holders were but after looking at it, looks like there are wire harneses back there. I can't put them in the dash because a 7" touch screen is going in there. I thought about putting the CD where the Cig lighter is and the DVD either under the passenger seat or in the glove box, but the DVD is too big to fit in either place, plus I want to have easy access to it. I can't think of any other places. Does anyone know if there is enough room where the cup holders are? I planned on fiberglassing them in there. Clarion also recommends that the DVD not to be mounted more than 30 degrees. Any ideas would be appreciated. Pictures of installs would be even better.

Thanks

The DVD is a single Din Clarion VS735. It just seemed like the bar for the seat adjustment was in the way to access it from the front, I guess I could mount it towards the rear and access it from behind. The other issue is that I don't want to cut my gb.

Hey J187, Did You glass both the top piece(where the cig lighter is) and the bottom together, or was yours all one piece. I've seen some center consoles that were just one piece. I've seen your install before and that's what I was leaning toward doing. I was just wondering if the DVD would fit right under where You have Your CD.(take out the cup holders)
