If you want it in the glove box, you will need to cut into the box to make it fit. Another good location is in the arm rest between the seats. This will also need a bit of modification. If you just want to drop it in and wire it w/o any effort, just put it under one of the seats.

I have seen it done in a 4th gen. I don't remember if he had to trim the plastic on the PS2 or not. It is a def possibility though.

At first I had the same idea to install a CB radio in the glove box. But it was really inconvinient and awkward to be reaching all the way across someone. So....I mounted it between the driver's seat and the center consol. Maybe you could fit it there? I don't remember how much leg room there is in a 95, but could buy/build a mount and mount it right underneath the glovebox? Just tossing some ideas...

Thanks but I have the Big One and I like the draw like disc drive and if its in the glove box that means while ppl are playing the passenger in the front passenger seat has to keep their legs open and thats a hassle. BTW how do you power your PS2 having it plug'd into the Cig. Lighter is an ugly look.
If I wanna put it under the passenger seat does that mean I have to disassemble the seat first?

No, it simply just slides under the passenger seat, if it doesn't just take out the front 2 bolts on the seat. I tried to fit the fullsize ps2 in my glove, it fit after I cut out about 75% of the side support plastic, I displayed it at NopiNats last year and it only lasted 2 days because I closed the glove box, it didn't latch all the way,fell open while I was driving and bye bye 25% support pieces. I haven't tried to fix it, I'm just going to put it in the passenger footwell and fiberglass a trim piece over it.

Disclaimer: Always get used parts to practice on first.

OK, I'm happy The fullsize PS2 fits perfectly under the driver seat and you can wire everything under the center console with ease(4 screws). So thats where I would advice everyone with the fullsize PS2 to mount theirs.

I fit my slimline ps2 in the glove box easily and only made a hole behind it to pass through the wires and used heavy duty double sided tape to hold the ps2 in place. The wireless controller reciever is plugged in the ps2 and even with the glove box shut I can stand outside with the door closed and windows up and it still works. I used a relay to connect to the power inverter if you splice it to the back of the cigarette lighter then you couldnt use it for anything else. what about upgrading the rcas on the ps2 I seen monster cable makes some and expensive, do they really make a difference?

how about this...


lol, maybe under the whole glove box? i seen a pretty cool one, under the back seat, right behind the center console, you have to cut out some of the seat tho. there isnt to many places. under the pass. side dash might work, just need some strong brackets. just think

Has anybody played fight night 2 in the car? I would recommend it, especially if you have a system some of the punches makes the bass hit hard and the music and other sound effects sound good too. GTA3 has good sound effects too, surround sound what are some other good games to play on the ps2 in the car?
