I agree on your opinion of Custom Auto sound. Pure junk. I put the original Delco radio back in mine.

Cheap advise: Insall 3" exhaust, no need for radio!

Mine has a CD behind the drop down face. When I add side pipes in a few weeks probably will not be using it much thereafter.

Depends on if you want to cut the dash or not.
If you want to cut the dash ,options are endless
If you don't ..There is another company that offers one that is a very nice unit they use Kenwood radios and modify them to fit.
Email me...I have some

I have a late model Kenwood driving 4 speakers and separate Subs and amp.(CD stacker as well)
Had to cut the Bezel to fit it but it was already broken just above the gauges in the usual spot. (used low temp alloy to repair it and you can hardly see it)
Custom Auto sound make several units and one of them is based on the earlier Kenwood units and I believe it can control a stacker as well.
I am happy with the Kenwood stuff and have the earlier 2 **** design in my '68 Bonneville coupe I use as a daily driver. I have worn out one stacker (replaced with a later model) but the head unit is still strong
:cheers:
