hi
I was looking to get a 3rd gen firebird but it doesnt have a radio fitted. Is there any size restrictions - i.e is it single or double din?
Thanks

They are double DIN but you can get adapter modules easily enough to take a standard single DIN head unit.

Get it before it's sold

frount speakers 4x6, rear are 6x9 or 4x6 with 4" subs depending on spec.

Can get cages for din radios so they fit - though i think one is for sale in parts atm for next to nothing.
You will also need to cut a tiny bit of plastic from the pod (if you want it mounted flush) as new radios are longer, easy 5 min job.

If you get it and want the factory wiring colours give me a shout- just swapped my stock one and speakers out

Now go buy the car

Pick up a stereo for your car from a 4th gen, say model year 2000. It'll basically bolt in, but only get the ones with the "wings" and now the slide brackets. Take a look at www.thirdgen.org for more info on what to look for. Then, do a google search for the harness adapter (mine cost $20.00 or so) and plug it in. It's plug and play! And you get a CD player option with it.

When I get my car there, I'll show you what I had to do but it was basically a bolt in operation with minimal modification. The only real work I had was that the opening in the third gen cars is smaller than the 4th gen stereo face, so I had to use my dremel to widen it.

4th gen stereos are 1.5 din. I thought 3rd gens were double din? So how come the 4th gen stereo was too big for your 3rd gen?

Only the facepate was too big. Take alook at my cardomain page, pretty sure I put pictures up. Link is in my sig.
