Recommendations on new head unit

QA Man · #1 08-15-2002, 07:58 AM

Could everyone who has replaced their stereo, please reply with the brand and model number you got. I'm currently looking to replace the factory stereo system with a Double Din head unit. Right now, I'm looking at this:

But want to see what others purchased before making any final decision.

Thanks!

EDIT: This is interesting. Also found this little tidbit. Any thoughts?

Mine's an Alpine 7873 and I really like it because it sounds awesome and matches the interior as well

Maybe I'll go with a single DIN unit. One question tho Earthworm. Where did you get the compartment that is underneath your stereo?

You can get that unit from most of the stores (BB/CC etc.) You can also get it as a Suby part from SOA (ask for legacy single din cover)

This is what I have:

Sorry about that crap on the carpet.

The installers put it in for me. On the invoice it said it was a Toyota part. I'm fairly certain that any car audio store should be able to get one for you as they are a fairly standard part.
