audio question
Hello everyone! Ben Smith here, new guy to the forum, hope to be here for many years! I just bought a 1994 Coupe, White with Red interior the usual options, bose CD casette, power everything. To make a long story short, I am going to remove the Bose cd cassette unit and replace with an after market head unit (Double Din) and I need to check the dimensions of the old unit, against that of the New unit I am looking at. I have not removed mine to verify this, I am hoping one of the Forum members happens to have a Bose CD cassette head unit sitting on a shelf that can give me the measurements without having to remove mine, until I am actually going to swap them out.
Basically, I need L X W X H (Depth,Hieght,width) the unit I am buying is approximately 4" hieght, 5.8" depth, and 7" wide....need to find out if this puppy will fit my '94. Anybody happen to have one of these units handy for some quick measurments?
Thanks in advance!

Can't offer the dimensions, but I did this replacement using a JVC double din. It fit nicely _behind_ the bezel so zero cutting or triming of the bezel to fit it. The JVC is nice because it offers 256 different lighting colors so I could match the factory orange of the rest of my dash lighting.

You will need to change the speakers when you put in the new unit.You will also need to rewire the speaker wires.
I would suggest that you buy the bypass harness so you don't cut the factory wiring.
Mini Disc player??

Great advice for Sure. Yeah "Mini Disc" was a cd cartridge similar to digital audio tape late 80's early 90's tech this has an awesome display too. 50 watts x 4 channels,sub pre outs, spectrum analyzer,etc.
My only concern is the trim bezel on the vette's dash, will I have to trim or not...... Well gotta run have a good one!

There is one for sale in the Parts section. Send the seller a Private Message and ask him to measure his stereo and send the dimensions to your inbox.

Although the bypass harness does its job you might consider just getting an amp and speakers and re-wiring. I did the harness route and 3 months later ripped it all out and did the whole job right.
