Re: Double Din Stereo... (autotech)
I have a Pioneer DEH-P77DH. It fits OK but the color is a dark grey. It never
looked that good so I painted it black. You can take the front panel off of it
remove the screws and unclip the clips. I left the buttons silver. It looks way
better than it did. This is a good unit and has 4V line outs if you go the
separate amp non Bose speaker route. The CD never skips and I have a 85 with Z51 suspension.

Re: Double Din Stereo... (autotech)
get the install kit and buy a GOOD single DIN head unit... there are SO many more options for the 1 DIN's than for the 1.5 or 2.0 DIN's.
For some reason, it seems like the stereo makers use their crappiest heads and expand them to fit into these dash boards.
Alpine was the exception... they used to have a 2 DIN that was to die for, but, alas, they no longer make it... (and it wouldn't fit anyway...)
check into Alpine for a 1 DIN head...

:iagree: Most 1 din units are to deep for the Vette so they install kit moves
the unit out about an inch.

It's a Pioneer FH-M75. Pretty sure they don't make it any more. I bought mine a week after I bought the car back in 92. :thumbs:

Re: Double Din Stereo... (Rottweiler)
It's the GMB-1 http://www.soundgate.com/products/factory/gm.htm I would suggest doing some research before deciding what to do. It seems if you want to use a non-Bose HU and non-Bose speakers, you should probably run new wires. Check out this thread http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=650159 :steering:
