Okay, Im not sure about this, but does anyone know if you could squeeze in 2 DIN style units into the spot for a radio.....I have a head unit, and an EQ, and was wondering, if these would fit at all. If not, Do any of you have any ideas on where I could mount my EQ? Thanks.

Yes, on some models, I have heard that the 95-97 models had something behind the radio blocking it or something but on my 99 it is a true double din. I have pictures posted here.

There are a couple different ones.
 






Did you have to buy a dash kit to do this?
 






I installed the 2 units without a dash kit, but I ended up buying one just to fill in the gap around the radio and the bezel. Other than filling in the gap it doesn't do anything. If you look close at this pic you can see the pieces on the side I used.

I bought the Schosche (sp?) kit from Circuit city for $18.
 






If im not mistaken 95-97 only had a true 1.5 din. Enough room for a din radio and a 1\2 din EQ. At least thats the case with my 97. I dont see 2 full dins going in there!
 






As I said before, I am not positive about anything except my '99, but even w/ my '99 I had to do some trimming and filing to fit 2 single DIN's but nothing unexpected.
