I was thinking about just putting the piece that the GXE has under the stock cassette player in there. What do you guys think? Where can I get it?

Thanks,

Buy yourself the adapter kit they sell for single din headunits at any audiostore.They are about 15 bucks and they looks tight! Your deck will flush mount and you get some storage space for things like small papers. I think they maker of my adapter kit was Metra and I am very pleased with it. I got it at AudioKing (the name in Minnesota for Ultimate Electronics). I have a picture but it is crap. Maybe I'll load it to my website and link it so you can see it.

I woudl suggest just going to your dealership and getting the pocket that will attach to the rest of the mounting brackets, like you had said the GXE.. I did that for mine and the pocket was 10 bucks...

I made this page in about 10 minutes. Just a bunch of pictures I took with my digital camera and didn't like. There are pics of my deck on it. http://thenip73.tripod.com/carpics.html Enjoy!

Cool. Thanks! I'm either gonna get the "pocket" that you have or the one at the dealer. BTW, I'm getting the same headunit as yours - Alpine CDA-7893. I think I might also be getting the same subs as yours - 2 12" JL Audio W3?

I've actually only got the 12-W1 subs. They don't make em anymore. Haven't for a few yrs. I bought em when I was 16 and got my first car. They still put out like you wouldn't believe. No need to fix what isn't broke. The Alpine deck I have is the 7977. It is a non-powered model, meaning your must have amps for all of your speakers. I got it because the voltage is 5 volts all around instead of 2 volts for the fronts and rears and 5 for the subs. Also, nonpowered decks tend to sound slightly cleaner. I'm sure you'll enjoy the system. Enjoy.

Well it looks the same as the 7893, and the subs look the same as the W3.

Dude ...not trying to be mean or anything but I think you should loose that wood grain on your car.....you car look tight but would look tighter without that wood grain

TheNip73

Man, my wood grain is tight, yo! Actually, I bought it used and wasn't going to buy the car because I thought it was nasty. Well, it took all but 2 days to grow on me and I love it now. When I see a tan interior with a black area in the center near the radio it bothers me now. Too many colors in the car. My wood makes my car blend. What can I say?

tvn_1010

Wood grain are alright but I have seen some better than yours. Give me your email address and I will send you pictures. You will see...

TheNip73

I've already seen better myself... My email is nipp0005@umn.edu

Nick:
you can buy a universal pocket made by METRA at ANY stereo shop or BestBuy for $15.99.

Don't knock the woodgrain!

Speaking of Single Din units, what do you guys think of the Premier DEH-840MP??

TheNip73

I think Pioneer is about gimicks, not sound. Just my opinion, but whales, helicopters and other fancy displays are not for me. This deck does look like it has potential from the website, however. 4 volt pre-outs are good. Having 3 preouts is good. The display is much improved from past models, which is also good. If you like it, go for it. Previous Pioneer decks I would just laugh at. This one looks like Pioneer is on the turnaround, they way the were about 5 years ago -- near the top of the pack in performance and looks.

the Premier-930 is one of the best HU i have ever heard and one that i currently have Eclipse so far has Pioneer beatin in the SQ dept, but in features the Premier blows it away.

apparently nobody here has heard of the P1R??? if you had you would be saying that Pioneer knows how to do sq. What other decks do you know that autoeq ???

I forgot to add in what I am doing is i put my p1r in the bottom din slot and i am making a fiberglass encloser to fit a 5-1/4 in the double din spot above. superior front staging and fills up the dash.

i am familiar with the auto eq. I don't like the idea. I don't think it will stage the sound to exactly where your ears are and where you dectect teh sound. Also, I prefer to have control of the sound. A standard deck should not need an auto eq if it is setup correctly. Just my opinion.
