These are all good suggestions. I'm considering something else as well. I have been looking at www.secretaudio.com and have been considering mounting thier SS unit under the driver and/or passenger seat (Not the battery spot the other one RIGHT under the seat). Dimensions: Tuner / Amp is 1.5"h x 7"w x 5.75"d LCD Display unit 1.5"h x 4.125"w x 0.75"d CD changer 11.2"w x 2.9"h x 7.3"d 9' Cable to connect tuner & display 15' cable to connect tuner to cd It also comes with an RF remote (no having to aim it to use it). I think this unit leaves a lot of options, I am sure that at 3/4" the LCD could be recessed into the dash, or maybe mounted under the drivers visor.
