_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) Due to space constraints (wont bore you why) i need a headunit that is no more than 3" deep. Anyone have any suggestions? obviously, will loose CD playing ability but im not that bothered about that. anyone running anything like that and would/wouldnt run it again etc? or if anyone is in the business and can do a deal let me know as well. will go to an audio shop today on the way home and look at some options, but experience is better than a sales pitch. cheers Edited March 18, 2013 by _Ethrty-Andy_ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dubman 39 Report post Posted March 18, 2013 http://www.jaycar.co.nz/productView.asp?ID...SUBCATID=1029#4 decent unit for the price, and shallow or you could try American Hi-fi from The Warehouse, pretty much same as the one above, but not as good IMO Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dubman 39 Report post Posted March 18, 2013 3" of SPACE you mean? o.k Andy HU is 10.5cm in deep, incl. wire harness and radio antenna adapter for it to point out to the side Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dubman 39 Report post Posted March 18, 2013 or spend more and get one with wired remote? i've thought about mounting controls on steering wheel, but that makes the e30 too luxurious Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neal 545 Report post Posted March 18, 2013 Have a look at Fusion marine systems (a few other bands do similar units) Here Another option is to take the face of a dettachable face head unit, Solder wire on the the connectors and put the cd / tuner unit in the boot.

Navin 180 Report post Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) Sony DSXS100 is fairly shallow, not sure the exact measurements though Edit: ignore that, did some research and it's too deep Edited March 18, 2013 by Navin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
