For those who have single din system, what kind of mod did you folks replace the CD storage with?

 

There are planty of DIN sized pockets you can buy at any stereo shop to fill the hole.

Mine is filled with my Sirius Satellite Radio controller:

 

mzmtg.....is your dash painted or is that a kit. It looks hot

 

When I installed an aftermarket single-DIN HU, I centered it and recessed it in the middle of the double-DIN opening and fabricated a trim panel to go around it that fits flush with the face of the HU.

 

I put a pop out cup holder from my old 92 maxima.http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/524218/2

 

Paint.

storage thing with my 12 disk controller in it

 

How about some pics? That sounds like it must look pretty cool.

 

I'm still building the system. Lots of custom fabrication. It's taking longer than I thunk it would. I'll post pics when I complete the system. Soon.

The in-dash storage compartments are worthless to me. That's why I decided to just make something pretty and not put an ugly opening into the extra space. I'm using the storage space at the bottom for a panel of switches. If I had boost, I'd put gauges under the HU.

 

i have been looking for the part # on the net but can't find it. do you have the part #?

 

yea, definitely would to see some pics. please post it here when you're done.

 

I put a 1/2 DIN Clarion center channel speaker under my DIN Kenwood DVD player for 5.1 surround sound. It looks sweet and I still have enough room for LEDs and meters for future upgrades....look at my homepage for pics....

 

putting up some pics would be nice.

 

What surround processor are you using?

 

I do not have the part #.You might be able to find it in a junkyard.

 

bump, this is something ive been dying to get feedback on...im tired of this empty space in my dash

 

damn man that looks awsome! awsome job.

for my single din head unit i fill the gap with a microvision screen

 

you got pics of this?

 

 

oh, ok, i see, i thought u filled the gap in that one space with some kinda mini screen or something.....

 

bump, still looking for ideas here

 

how did you get the single din receiver flush?

 

I left the Bose unit in there and I have my motorized Sony receiver in the bottom with the motorized face. When closed it is sometimes difficult to tell if it's even there! Heres some pics:

 

maximabebe, so is your bose unit functional?

 

I did the same with my stock headunit to ward off theives. No one will think you have a system with a stock HU.

 

hmmm....shouldnt have to change ure car in any way for thieves....if u do, the terrorists have won...

 

Another option, especially if you have a broken Blows Audio HU, is to cut the face off of the stock HU and fix it so you can pop it into the cutout, over the aftermarket HU when you leave your car. Then it will look like your system is stock.
