I believe that is a din and 1/2 not a double din.

bfletcher is indeed correct, it is a 1.5 din opening. So it isn't possible to install a 2 din unit without some major surgery.

damn - found a nice double din at a good price that i wanted. oh well, glad i checked on it first - and thanks for the info fellas. by the way - im thinking about keeping the stock premium sound system and upgrading it - however, the rear 6x9's have 2 leads one for the woofer(4ohm) and one for the tweeter(10ohm). therefore my question is how could i convert the signal through an loc and not lose all the higher frequencies that i want to get through the 6x9's as well. i was thinking about just converting the signal from the front speakers(i think their full range) and then splitting them off to the loc and running all the speakers through an amp. do you think that itll work.

as long as the front speaker signal is Full Range then yes it will work
