How about a rack kinda mount under the glove box and the screen mounted in the glove box?

It's simple, fairly easy and it would look good!

cut out your center console and lay it to where it can still
eject the CD without hitting anything, and a 13" screen in your dash but you
gotta get rid of your SRS bag right there...
i got mine under the seat it was to easy, need to relocate PS2...

my idea is pretty unoriginal but foolproof, mount it under the passenger seat, make custom rails so it is easy to remove, if you mount it in the trunk its kinda hard to get controllers into the cabin in a comfortable position ever think of that?

You have to get what is called a power inverter, and you have to make sure the rating of the inverter will not be too much or not enough to run the PS2 (I havent shopped for one yet so I dont know wha tpower rating it needs




As for the idea that profurious said I think thats even better than mine, but itd be hard to take i out when you want to. Also what alot fo people dont realize is that the PS2 or any other console puts out an amazing amount of heat so if you dont have an open space for a cooling fan or some sort of heatsink when you mount it like that your PS2 will burn up and most people dont do that because its kinda hard without a large modification of your rear bench. When you put it under the passenger or the driver seat it has plenty or airspace to dissipate heat.
