dreedraffs Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I was installing a new deck in my beater and the stupid thing is not deep enough to accept the Denon H/U I wanted to put in. So I'd like to know who changed theirs radios in a EA82 (I have a '92 Loyale) and what they put in so I can get an idea with will fit. But still I'm pretty sad... I wanted to know if this 2x18bits CDA CD player would sound better than my previou sCD45z Nak. Well... I'll have to wait to listen to it I guess...

dreedraffs Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 I was looking at the sounddomain site to get ideas. This make me wanna clarify a detail... I want to keep the H/U ''inside'' the dash, I don't want to put a sleeve on the plastic trim and put the H/U in the sleeve. I want the h/u to be where it belongs.

Hodaka Rider Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 You got three choices: 1) Use the adaptors the aftermarket has (or make your own) 2) Remove your heating sytem (the heater core is what sits behind the radio) 3) Put you head unit under your seat, in the glovebox, or somewhere else.

dreedraffs Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 There should be a radio somewhere that is not too deep to get in there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodaka Rider Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Yep, I've got one. 1994 Loyale stock AM/FM with cassette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmes Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I like the adaptor that I got from Crutchfield because it tapers in on the sides. Not as obtrusive looking as the Metro kit that most people use. http://www.crutchfield.com/S-sMot5lRapfx/cgi-bin/prodview.asp?i=003SBK930 There should be a radio somewhere that is not too deep to get in there... Why do you think the stock radio is shallow and double-stacked? Because a normal stereo would never fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fangster Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I used a spacer - this one was custom made... I have a new Pioneer unit in there now - works well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky92 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I have about the same adapter for my 92 Loyale for my JVC..they are cheap and screw right in and they dont look bad either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarian Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I have a Pioneer Supertuner with CD in a generic adaptor. It fits well and looks decent. No problem with rattling or shaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROGDOR! Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 That Crutchfield unit will also accept a normal type stereo, I believe the section for the knobs is removable. I had one of those once as well, looked pretty slick. The Metra one isn't so bad either, it's what I have now. Most people don't even realize it isn't factory. There is no perfect way to do this- either use an adapter, let the radio hang out an inch, remove your heater, or mount it somewhere else- that's it.
