EQ - setup - pics



I had a question - has anyone tried changing (any kinda mod) their deck area to fit an equalizer? Anyone got pics?

If not - then where are other good places where they can be mounted for easy reaching and acheiving the "good looks"!

I wanna buy a deck and eq - have been looking at some 1.5 din decks but none kinda meet all the demands (mp3 and 3 preouts) - so ill settle for a regular sized one and try getting an eq somewhere there?

Thanks

If you get a half din sized EQ, it will fit with no modifications either under or above the radio.

If you can find the generic Metra GM kit that has like 20 pieces in it, there should be a face plate exactly for what you need.

Let me know if you need further help.

I have my EQ set up in the driver side footwell right underneath the dash, towards the center console though. It's strapped in with this special kit my friend rigged up
