Default Stereo Question

I am looking at putting a CarPC in my 07 base. Before I jump into ordering parts I wanted to see if anyone knows how much room is behind the stereo fascia. I need about 8.5 inches of room behind the trim ring. My car is in the shop so I can't measure but I would appreciate it if someone knows the depth or could measure the depth if their dash happens to be apart.

If there isn't room I need a place to put a case from 7.5"x8.25"x2.5" to
10" x 9.25" x 3.125" dimensions; any suggestions?

It will be real close the radio is about 6 inches deep and then you have a few inches, check in audio section some one will measure for you. There are some pic's of my install can't measure but you get the idea.

Thank you. Yes it is going to be tight, hopefully I could get away with some 90 degree cables. I posted in the Audio section for some answers.

Thanks again.
