They dont sell adapter for this at all the local audio places that I have went to. So I was thinking that I can split that one wire running to the 7" monitor and add a pigtail then split it into the signal booster before running it to the other 4 monitors. Any Audio tech out there want to let me know if this is feasable. I dont want to change my setup, but I need to figure out how to get these monitors to work. A long time ago you had radios that did not come with output jacks, we took the speakers wire and tap into the speaker output with a pigtail to get it to work with amplifier.
Thanks: David

thats what i was thinking about when i said they may sell an adapter, i still think they sell an adapter, im positive you can splide into the wires, and run it that way, thats alot of work though, all for nothing really.

so do you plan on getting those rims that keep spinning when your car stops? lol jk

Wow, this got off topic quick. I assume your running rcas from the dvd to the lcd right? I'm pretty sure running rcas from the dvd to a video switcher should do the trick. Then run rcas to each screen.

Make sure you post pics of the 5 screens when you get done. Should look nice.

if it has rca out pouts you can get a switcher box, or alot of Y cables and do it. lmao.but yea, you can hook up the dvd output rcas to the switcher box, then run it to your 5 lcd screen that way.

while you are throwing money around, will you buy me a lcd screen too ?
