BTW, If anyone knows of a double-DIN car radio that someone's trying to get rid of, I could use one. I don't care if it's working. I just need the case for a project.

ever see GMC car radios? They are double the size of regular head unit slots (geek: aren't they actually 1.5 the size?)

no, they actually are double the size. DIN is a standard size for car stereos, and double-DIN is often used for stereo/cd players, or stereos with in-Dash CD Changers.

so in a space where you could fit a head unit and an in-dash amp unit - you fit one double-DIN radio (Nissan XTerra's for example have double-DIN radios)

I would have had one, but my dad's now taking my old car with the double din. I don't think he plans on replacing the stereo, but if he does--It's all yours.

Let me reiterate: I don't care if it's broken. In fact, I'd rather it be broken, since I'm going to gut the thing anyway.

flomojopoanode flomojopoanodeFounder

it's actually not broken--which is the problem. If it's not broken, my dad doesn't have a reason to put in his stereo from HIS old car. Therefore, I would not have a double din stereo to offer you. BTW, it's a stock Nissan Double Din--hope that's okay, too, but from the sound of it...it is okay.

maybe I should just visit a junk-yard.

Hey, now that's a good idea!

iwz iwz

can't you just get a case somewhere?

deanh77 deanh77Founder

not sure what you're talking about. you can't buy car stereo parts anywhere I've been. I'm not talking about a computer case, I just need the shell(case) of a Double-DIN radio. (they do sell computer cases that are about DIN sized, but they are expensive)
