Install 2 headunits - can you? and what DIN Size
Sunday, March 19, 2006 9:47 PM
Hey,
First off, 2004 Sunfire.

I have heard a bazillion times that our dashes house 1 1/2 din headunits and i've heard a bazillion times that our dashes house 2 din headunits.

Since I'm gonna be doing a carputer project, I wanted to put a screen in the stock radio place and I can get setups that are made to fit 2 din spaces but I'm not sure if it'd fit.

Since I wasn't sure, I figured that I might be able to make 2 headunits fit easier. Well actually it would be a haedunit and then a flip up screen.

Basically I am asking
1. Does my car house 1 1/2 din or 2 din.
2. Can I put two 1 din "headunits" in the stock space.
3. If two can be done, how would I do it.
4. Any pics of people with two 1 din headunits.

Thanks

-Seth

they fit but players that have button and stuff all the way on the edges get covered up

My 00 fire has enough room for a double din setup, but so cutting it required.

in the 95-99 j-bodies it was a din and a half head unit. in the 00+ it was a double din, which is way you could get the 00+ j's with a cd and tape player from the factory (my cousin has one).

a double din MAY require some trimming, depending on the shape and design of the head unit. you could probably go with a din or din and a half plus a half-full din flip out screen, or get the whole assembly in a din and a half or double din unit. with the din and a half or combonations adding up to a din and a half, you may need and adapter or some fiberglassing skills to fill in any holes left from removing the factory unit.





Injection is nice but id rather be BLOWN!
