    My mother asked me the other day if i can put a dvd player an screens in her mini van for my 2 little brothers an cousins for when they go up to albany every month so they dont get board.
    so my plan was to leave the stock infinity speakers only cause they sound really good.now i have 5 7" inch pyle screens now my plans were to put 4 in the headrests and mount the other in the front on the side windshield cover, like a gauge pods, except with a tv, now i got mdf board cut already for it an ready to mount.
    I also have a fusion 12" vented speaker box that came out of my girlfriends car with a 100w pioneer amp im wire up in the back for a surround sound setup 6.1.
    now my only question is where can i find a source to plug all 5 tv's in and run them together w/ the dvd player?

    Screens draw almost no current at all. Most DVD players also draw a minimum amount of current.

    I hate short cuts, I woulds use a relay from a constant source to supply power to your add on devices. Turn on the relay using an ACC source from the van. Better yet, wanna turn the screens on and off with the radio? You said Infinity. Locate the relay that turns the Infiniy amps on and use it to turn on your ACC relay.

    I'm not sure which radio you have so if its a changer controller you should be able to get an adapter (peripheral maybe) that will allow you to input sound. Or you can do what I did in my truck, I use an FM modulator. It really works well. Good modulators turn on and off on detecting a signal and allow you to select any FM frequency.

    You biggest problem will be the number of screens you have, you will need a video amp. Fahrenheit (hope its spelled right) makes a good video amp (I have one in my truck)
