Glove Compartment LCD

I want to put an LCD screen in my glove compartment and connect it to my PSOne (the little ones). I was wondering what size screen fits best in the glove compartment and whether you can get AV connections. I have a couple pairs of tweeters that I plan to use as mini fold out speakers for the screen. Anyone have pics of this done in a 7th gen? Please tell me what kind of screen I should look for and about how much they will cost. Thanks!

Yup, I searched already.

Decent screens for reasonable prices are made by a company called Fahrenheit. If for just a screen, your looking at between 150 to 400 bucks depending on how large and what resolution you get. for a ps1 i believe you only need a 320X240 resolution so you can get a fairly inexpensive one, but dont go small, get at least 5.6" or 6" diagonal viewable area. 5" and below are just a joke now, and anyone that thinks they can see whats going on with one is insane. I have a 5.6" and my ps2 games are just barely playable, yet movies work great on it. Its all about preference.

Here are some that I found. Please tell me what you think.

Screen 1

Screen 2

Screen 3

Screen 4

Screen 5

I'm leaning towards Screen 4 or 5 simply because of price. I really can't afford anything over $200. Please tell me what you think of them. Thanks again.

Why do you want fold out speakers when you can just wire it into your sound system? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

Wiring it in is a hassle and I wanna be able to listen to the radio and still hear my games. Plus, I have 4 sets of tweeters I have no use for.
