Default double din

I am in the process of picking up a c5 z, and am thinking about the double din install, done it on my c6, pretty simple.
who is the go-to guy now that Dennis is no longer around, he treated me well on my C6 upgreade.
was shocked to see him go by the way side the way he did.

Since Dennis has left the business and this forum, no one has stepped up to capture the C5 audience. Crutchfield seems to be a good choice, and you could do a search on the forum in other specific forums on audio modifications. Dennis was a great resource and I do not fully understand what actually happened. I talked to him many times on the phone several years ago and from what I could gather was that he was a good guy, and willing to share his expertise and actually seemed to care about me and my audio desires. He changed my ideas ( in a logical way ) from what I assumed I wanted.. his advice was solid as I still totally enjoy my head unit and its features.

Vettenuts sells a great console for a double din. Nothing but good reviews.

For sound quality it's hard to beat Alpine but once you have the bezel your choices are pretty much unlimited with any double din head unit

Nope, they can and will supply the entire package if you want.
Give Mark a call and ask him about their DD packages.

You give up? Did you actually search? pretty simple with one key stroke... Jack gave you the name of the forum..
I realize that some people are not good with a computer, so with that in mind I will take your hand and point you in the tight direction. You however are going to have to make that key stroke.

Thanks but that's "for sale/wanted." I thought Jack was referring to an audio/electronics discussion section.

VetteNuts will give you an awesome discount if you buy a complete system from him. Saved me $200 on a set of JL Audio component speakers and $300 on an amp. He also had good deals on headunits but I bought that myself.
