[QUOTE="KARLEON, post: 2872235, member: 541893"] OMG, dont you guys hate when u have something all planned out in your head but when it comes down to the actual install, its a bit more complicated than it seems.???? After my truck got broken into, i had alot of lil ideas and stuff on how i wanted my new system to be. I had bought a alpine 6.5in screen from tweeter a couple years ago and never installed it. So im thinking hey, this time i will install the tv in the dash and make a lil custom face plate thing for it. So if thieves look inside the car, everything will just look black as if nothing is right there. But when u take off the face plate it was going to reveal my screen. so now where was the headunit going to go? Well i was planning on fiberglassing that into my glove box. I honestly didnt want it right there, but figured it would be good since the screen was taking up all the dash space and i could also lock the glove box alone with taking off the face plate to the cd player. The more i thought about this, the more i liked the idea. Well my cd player came in the mail yesterday. I just went outside to test fit and see if i would have enough room to mount the cdplayer and tsunami voltmeter i just bought. The **** cd player doesnt even fit. Of course the glove box is wide enough, but i need another inch or two in the depth department to make it fit. Now im trying to figure out where can i put the headunit. I have already started working on the screen. The screen pretty much fits perfect in that spot. The screen fits perfect height wise but was off about an inch width wise. (the screen itself was about an inch shorter) So i done already started fiberglassing around the corners to make it fit. Anyways, off my rant now... Do any of you guys have any ideas on where i can install my cd player now? Only other place i can see is the middle console..but i like that idea 10x less than the idea of having it in the glove box. Maybe if it was a cd changer..but not headunit. But it seems as if this is the only option i may have. [/QUOTE]
