    Head unit and subs

    I have a 98regular cab flare side. I am looking to install a new receiver and some subs. Are other any double din that can be installed without cutting the dash? Also how can I play slacker radio through the receiver? As for subs if I were to build a custom enclosure to double as a console in front of the seat, would there be enough airspace to support two shallow mount 10s or 12s?

    Ok. There are a lot of options for head units. What u have is what they call din and a half. In my 03. I installed a pioneer app radio

    It did require some resizing. I used a dremel. I Made a template and just followed it. Fit perfect when I was done. I'm a apple guy. So that's why I went with this radio. I had no probs and really enjoyed it. I had no problems using any apps in my phone to play music or vids on the screen. As far as a sub?

    I purchased this 800w 10' sub. 110$ on amazon.com. I put 500w to it. And it handled everything. I was looking for that deep bass kick for a bass drum. And I got it. It's very small so it fit under my back seat. My 03 was a super cab. I still have it. And plan to install it in my new truck. There are many options out there

    Trimming for a double din do you trim the outer cosmetic piece or behind there.
