Does PS2 skip in car?

[Sime]

Hi everyone.

I'm planning to hook up the playstation 2 in the car until I get around to buying a proper DVD player. Does anyone know if they skip while driving? If so, has anyone come up with any inventions to limit this.

Not unless you take out your springs and drive up and down gutters!

[hippy]

i'm not too sure about that .. PS2 aint meant to be rocking up and down ... might shorten its life a little .. might

my mates got one in his he put it in the glovebox..i didnt think it would fit but it did...he built like a box around the ps2 so it fit perfectly in the glovey he hasnt had any skipping problems with it so i guess if u install it so theres no movement i guess it should be ok?

cheers...

Sweet! Thanks for your input guys. I'll give it a go and see what happens. The glove box would great if I can get it to fit.

what are you guys doing about power supply? have you just bought an invertor? i think im going to have a problem with skipping thought, only because of the stereo, i have already lost a windscreen and people have gottne noes bleeds from it :S maybe its time to turn it down a little

Dick smiths is about the nearest thing we have to jaycar up here. is it just for ps2 or do u just plug the power cord into a plug on the invertor?

[Sime]

Yeah, Dick Smith have them for about $90. You can plug any household appliance in them as far as I know.

JB HiFi have DVD players at the moment for $330. I decided to go for that option instead of the PS2. It also plays MP3s. I decided the extra $240 over the PS2 option was worth it. I can also plug a PS2 or a TV tuner into it if I wish.

that sounds like the go, at the moment i have a vcd stacker under the drivers seat, witht he alpine tv i have i am lucky it comes with a brain under the seat, wich has rca in and rca outs on it, so i can plug a ps2 and a dvd playing in no probs and i have rca outs aswell for another 2 screens, which is handy, next car show i am setting up a 80 cm tv at the stall with just the music from the car and the video clips playing on it

[JR]

i will have to go to dick smith today

[Sime]

Nice! All you need is a fold out couch to come out of the rear bumper!

[JR]

lol, that would be a sweet mod man, will have to look into that cheers for your help

try and get an inverter with as many watts as possible, mine is about 400watts. cant tell ya how much better it is cause i havnt installed it yet

[JR]

what sort of power supply are your running to your invertor? i have seen them with a ciggie lighter, but i think i might hard wire it in, and run a relay, maybe the trigger being the trigger wire from the amps, that should be easy enough to hook up

fit it in a mould or wood or whatever, and behind it put some 2inch foam to support it and wedge it in kinda

would help a bit but nothing else u can really do..

unless u wanna put some springs and make a ps2 suspension kit (:

[JR]

maybe put some kings under it or some

thing
