PSST Audio buffs , Double din Head units for us 1.5 din guys

[ToolManTimTaylor]

After taking in some serious thought I was thinking of going Double Din in the ram. The vent panels could come out in favor for this project. The ductwork may need a lil' trimming but is feasable. I am worried about the dash coverlay. if that center section is cut out and formed will it leave an ugly gap whereas I would need to do some glasswork and retool the panel. I was wondering if anyone has tried a double d install. My WRX's head unit I had imported from Japan from a place called oddly enough the Melting-pot.

That head unit resides in my buddys's STi and went seamlessly with the imprezza'a interior.



That head unit was a JDM Sony (BTW Japan has it all over us in the audio department) That was a CD AND MD player so I could load up with 60 songs and just have a lil' md and cd loaded to do so. Melting-pot

What I want is Kenwood's big nasty which is the DPX-930WMP. Shown below.
