Pics of single din install

Trying to decide if I want to install a Pioneer 7700 in my truck. Worried about the look of the single din. Pics of any single din is welcome please.

Save up and get a double din! They look 10x better! They are worth the extra cash for sure! Here is a picture of mine...

I was worried about how a single DIN would look, but I'm very happy with mine.

Nick, that doesn't look bad with the pocket. I got a used Pioneer 7700 off ebay for $110. Maybe I can mod that mounting kit and cover up the pocket with a piece of black plastic.

Hey 04procompLARIAT, I never would have guessed your truck was 2wd. It looks good though.

The W200 is the double din in 04procomplariat's picture...also, the same one I have. The PXA-H701 is the processor that the W200 is compatible with and offers A LOT of features (DAC's, PEQ, 31 band GEQ, 5.1, etc). here's the link:

I flipped the kit upside down because in certain lighting situations the face got washed out from bright sunlight. By mounting the deck in the lower half, it changes the angle you are looking at the faceplate. I also "ISO" mounted the deck, using screws into the side of the chassis instead of using the sleeve and trim ring. This mounting sets the deck back in a little and puts the face flush with the kit.

Don't worry, Joe...unlike other folks, I won't tell you to spend more money than you planned.
