Default Almost done with A/V Install!

Well I'm almost completely done with the audio/video install I started this winter. I'll put some pics of the TV and associated inverter below. More pics of the stereo setup will be coming soon.
The attached pics show the new 15" widescreen LCD I put in place of the factory TV/VCR combo. It's mounted on a pivoting arm that locks in place. I probably should have spent the extra money for a dual voltage TV because after buying this one I realized it didn't work correctly on a standard modified sine wave inverter so I had to get a pure sine wave inverter which is much more expensive. I mounted an amplified Terk HD antenna back behind the original TV opening. It's actually mounted against the grab rail bolts coming in from above. Was quite a bear to get in there but the reception is great with that antenna. Lots of HD and digital stations.

    Z275,
    That looks great! Makes my little 9 inch DVD combo look pathetic. Be sure the post the how to’s. I would like to do that some day. It won’t be long for you to be using it!

    and the LCD is going to use far less power than your old TV/VCR combo.

    Hmmm was it the user Jeff Barnett that did that same swap ?
