[QUOTE="ThxOne, post: 8650989, member: 675210"] As a previous owner of a 1992 25th Anniversary Heritage Edition Camaro, I can tell you that what you are getting is NORMAL for THAT car. The back of the radio is ALMOST touching the transmission hump and there is NO ventilation back there.. It gets warm behind the radio opening even with the stereo out. The only way I got around it was with an Alpine HU that I could turn off the internal amplifier and run the 4x6's in the dash and the 6x9's by your head off a 4 channel amp. Furthermore, the two vents behind the radio, one on each side of the center console, can be removed... well broken then removed. This will allow you to FLUSH mount your DIN sized head unit with the right dash kit... I forget which one I used but the mounting hole was able to be made flush (It slid out and in) once the vents behind the radio are removed. I have only ever used two brands of dash kits (Metra and Scosche) so it is one of those two. Hope this helps. EDIT: Metra Dash Kit - [URL="http://www.metraonline.com/part/99-4700"][B]This Kit!![/B][/URL] [/QUOTE]
