So I finally got around to installing my Panasonic CQ-C7401U and Infinity 4002i's front and rear. I spent awhile thinking about to fill the 1.5 DIN of space that would be left over, and instead of going with boring ABS plastic, I bought a Scosche (sp?) Soundkase 1DIN 4-cd-holder, and a Metra 1/2 DIN pocket. After alot of air grinding, drilling, and some ingenuity, I got everything bolted up and fitting perfectly flush in the dash with no gaps. Let me know what you guys think

 

awesome looks great.
love the gum holder

 

Looks great , are you trying to quite smoking or just chew alot of gum
ps. where'd you find the 1/2din pocket at?

 

Haha nah I just love the gum, and you can get the pocket at Circuit City for like $11

 

HU looks tight.

 

Did you do anything with the volume power button? I know this was intergrated into the factory stereo.

 

Nah its just sitting there, it would be pretty tight to have it work along with the HU, but I had already put too much time into this and didnt feel like figuring out how to wire that up

 

Tha's so clean. Having no skills with audio work owns me. I'm gonna have ot pay for a custom install on my hu. I hate how there is no aftermarket support for my car.

 

where in NJ u located... need help. i dont like to see people waste money on simple installs.

 

yea, havent seen any dash kits for the sc. but the panasonic HU install is tawight as a tawiger.

 

Looks great!! Gives me some inspiration about the 1 1/2 DIN left over space...

 

that's cause they don't exist

pretty much it's bust out the dremel and some ABS or pay someone to do it for you.

install looks nice and clean

 

Thanks for the compliments guys And for anybody lookin to do this, just be careful when shaping the ABS, one little slip can **** everything up
