Does anyone have a double wide head unit?
By double wide I mean that takes up the bin for hte regular stock radio, and the storage bin beneath it? I am thinking about doing this if i can find one that fits. Anyone have any suggestions?

I just had a pioneer cd/dvd/nav unit put in my 2k2, and they put both pieces (each is a single din) right into the dash. They had to order a special kit for the outside, however it came out really nice and fit perfectly...since 2 single dins fit I would assume that a double din system would work as well..and now that I think about it, the stock 2k2 on my SE was a double din

There are several companies that make them...Eclipse,Pioneer,Kenwood,Clarion,etc..
Figure on your budget, and what functions you would require to run your system, and then I may be able to help you choosing one.

bottom line, a good amplifier rated at 20 watts rms x 4 will kill a cd player in terms of performance. a lot of cheaper amps will outperform them too.
