Anyone install a double DIN in a 2nd gen?

[MrTailLight]

Any pics out there of a double din installed on a 2nd gen camaro? I have a stupid discount on audio with one of our suppliers, so im about to line the ride with Kenwood, thought about installing a nice double din....

Without a custom enclosure I don't think its possible to install. Why not go with the top of the line single DIN kenwood excelon.

Same here
But then again I'm a loyal Kenwood enthusiast for 20 years now in car audio.

I did have a thread 2 or so years ago on Double DIN options in 2nd gens.

Some people shared some images that they found. I think most options were
in the console under the lower dash though. Year one had an option for it.

How often are you going to drive your car? Personally I think a good single din will perform just as good as a double din. I think installing a double din in there is just wasted effort

This was my plan before I decided to stay more original. Here is a local car (not mine) that I saw at a local car show. The owner was happy with his setup:

I've always hated the boxy 79-81 dash, but in this case above.....
I think it's a very cool looking setup.

Sometimes alot of things we do are wasted efforts but we're dudes, and we like our toys
Hell I'm putting a double DIN touchscreen in my work van......lol

I hardly ever drive the car, but its a toy and project with my boys. The real answer is WHY NOT INSTALL A DOUBLE DIN IF YA CAN!

i like some set ups i have seen, so i think i know what i will be planning.

This is my plan, i have no reason not to do it this way, i think it looks much nicer than the kit that installs it under the dash. seems more functional to me this way really, let alone being able to see it better.

I have my double din installed in the dash, it sure looks good, ill post pics of it and the Kenwood system going in. about half of the trunk is done, just the time to finish it.
