Supreme Cutlass Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 I've been looking at putting in an aftermarket HU, and I was wondering how I can avoid it sticking out and looking stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwmin Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 break the part off where the stock radio piece holds the radio up. get a kit with flush mount or go the http://maptechenterprises.netfirms.com/store/nfoscomm/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=32&osCsid=7b4ec3b6a186a1f86f99876e12388424 assuming you have din 1.5 for some reason, the pioneer, old jcv, and panasonic fit in this way easily, but my new jvc didnt very easily and it wasnt the depth of the radio completely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psych0matt Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 Hey pabz, got any more pics of that install? I was always thinking of moving the dis to the ashtray area, and possibly the stereo to that cubby. Only problem, what to put in the stereo area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 when i had my old sony i could get away with mounting it flush, but every HU i've had since is simply too long to use the flush mount bracket i have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GP1138 Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 You think those slots are bad, try in the 1.5 gen GP's. They're the worst mounting radio slots ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
