The Popcorn incar thread

[alanh]

I'm planning to start working on an in-car deployment later this month or early next with a PCH B-110 and a VoomPC2 enclosure and automotive power supply. I'm using that combo as a cost effective off-the-shelf solution to avoid fabricating a lot. That way I can focus all of my limited spare time on software development (not using NMT) and having a rolling installed hardware platform in a day tops. And in the spirit of turn-key, I'll probably go with something like a Xenarc MDT-X7000 for the display plus crossovers, amps, caps, speakers, etc.

The only thing I really hate is I can't find any low wattage DC-DC power supplies with ignition control. Pretty much everything is rated 60W+ with varying efficiencies - more than 5 times the peak power usage of the B-110 + 2.5 HD. So I'll probably build one later once everything else is done.
