Kindle Fire fitting in a double din

If anyone has a kindle fire could they compare it to a double din size. My buddy wants to install one in his car and doesn't want to do to much cutting. From what it looks like the kindle fire has a 7 inch screen and should be pretty close in size.

It looks like a solid inch of bezel.

My plan is putting it behind the bezel so the black part of the tablet is not showing or barely showing. As long as the screen is a nice fit it should work out okay. And what is a good priced eq or volume knob I can use for this install.

I'd get a sound processor so you can EQ the output signal, and pretty much any volume know would work, you could use a light switch dimmer if you really wanted to.

Im probably not gunna go the processor route because im trying to keep the install cheep. If anything it will probably end up being an auxilary to rca to a volume knob before connection to the 4 channel amp he has. Hes more concerned about getting the tablet in his car than he is about it sounding good. I recommended a Ms-8 and he **** his pants when i told him the price LOL.
