#12699, "RE: Double Din Kit (Install 2 single dins)" In response to In response to 0
Originally posted by crashoverburned I'm looking to install an alpine dva 5200 and an alpine cva 1005, both single din components. How would I go about doing this? I've installed aftermarket headunits before, as I currently have an alpine 9843, but its a single din component, so its fits comfortably in the single din aftermarket install kit. I've read in previous posts that they might have aftermarket double din kits made for our cars, but I've had no luck finding them. The other alternative is to use a factory radio bracket and work with that. How would you mount the single din components. Is a trim piece required? Is the picture the right one (I don't have the factory bracket so I might need to buy one)? Any help is appreciated, thanks. http://imageshack.us>
Get a factory stereo bracket. Our cars have a double din setup up but used a single din radio and a little storage compartment below it. That's the storage compartment you see in the pic you linked. Ditch the storage bin and 2 single din radios will install with no problem. Well depth might be a problem on the lower din, but the relays that are behind the stereo can be moved around a little to gain some extra depth clearance.
