Hi Guys

How have you guys held your head unit in place. Due to thye padded dash, the DIN bracket that is supplied with the head units are useless. Does anyone make a bracket.

Also where have you guys put your front and rear speakers, can you post some pics?

if you want to use the DIN cradel best thing to do is trim the dash pad just abit larger than the outside of the face plate so it sits down flush on the metal dash underneath

same as steves yellow bug:

Ok one more

Worked out the head unit and the rear speakers, what have you guys done for the fronts. I know you can get those fibreglass kick panels, but do they take up too much room? Or any other suggestions.

The VW I bought has them in the doors

OOOPPPPSSSSSS


Sorry, should have stipulated, really really dont want to put them in the doors, just fitted new door trims and really dont want to cut into them and change the original look.

Havent seen it done but could cut em into the bottom of the dash. And about the kick panels i dont think they do most people like em.
