Default New radio

I finally got around to the 1st part of my install. Was extremely easy with all the help from you guys! I still haven't figured out how to add pics from my phone. Just wanted to say thanks! Going to do the crossovers soon and then the amp and sub.

Matches great, but ....
Do you realize that it is not mounted correctly ?
The top is much too far into the console, it should be even all around ......

Is it just the camera angle, or is the top edge in a bit further than the bottom. The image makes it look like it is drooping down in the back. Please don't flame me, I'm only asking this because I'm seriously considering this unit also. But I'd have a hard time being ok w/ it if it looked like it was hanging low in the back.

Angle of the dangle of the Kenwood face.. Wife's roadster was pointed out when I posted it.. went back and checked.. there is a slope in the design. Guess you could custom finagle it if it disgraced you enough..

Yes in this pic it is sitting back. I had just test fit and hooked it all to make sure it works. I hadn't pushed the tabs in to lock it in place. (i was pretty excited lol)

I do wish it had blue tooth, but for the price, all the options on it, and the match to the interior i couldn't be happier.

I cant believe the sound. Cant wait to get the crossovers installed to see what that does.

Let me know if it still has a slight slope.. I pulled roadsters back out to inspect when it was noted.. metal sleeve was flush to housing at top and bottom. Didn't feel like it was worth going in for a custom shim job.

I went ahead with the Kenwood 955HD even though it's black, because it has everything in it but the kitchen sink. Alaxfire, check out my thread and see if you like the unit.

Its the angle of the camera. The lip of the console actually peaks in the middle from the sides in. A quick check with my finger shows they peaks are the same in the center.

Thanks again for the help in getting this done!
