Head Unit Fit?
Thursday, February 02, 2012 7:34 PM
I was wondering if anyone knows, if a kenwood kdc x595 will fit in a 97 cav? Crutchfield says it wont fit, im kinda thinking it should fit..??

It will fit the front opening, but it may be too long and you might have to cut some of the plastic from the back out. Either way, it will not be seen. You will need an instillation kit and I also suggest the wiring harness to make it a plug in affair with the stock harness.

It will fit with an installation kit. Crutchfield is a little stupid on stuff like that. They sell kits to put single din radios in a Cavaliers double-din opening but they only list double-dins as being compatible.

I have no idea why i put cavalier, its a sunfire.. lol.. They have the same dash right? On crutchfield, says itll fit a cavalier not a sunfire.. kinda odd... think ill go with that one anyway... Anyone have recomdenations for some cheap component speakers for the front. Dont need to spend to much, its the work car...

Same size radio opening on both the Cavalier and Sunfire. NOT same dash though. It will fit. As far as good cheap component speakers... Ask someone else... I will be no help in that department. I will leave that up to the audio experts.

Depends upon year 95-99 theyre different Cavs are double mines a din and a half. I believe 00-05 are the same though.

Im not good at recommending product.

crutchfield will only say something fits if it will install without having to adjust or cut or change anything.

As far as cheap speakers go, if it's "just the work car" and you don't want to spend much, I would assume you're not buying an amp. I would just get some half decent $50 drop in speakers to upgrade from stock and call it good enough. Without an amp to provide a bit more power than the head unit's power, most component speakers are going to leave a lot to be desired. They're built to take power and without it, they will be lacking. Most cheaper coaxial speakers are made for lower power and therefore can perform better without much power. Not to say a component set won't sound better, or higher end speakers wont sound better, but they won't get as loud as you want without damaging them, unless you have them amped.

I have a little amp im gonna put with them. I was thinking about spending 100-150 on the speakers. I want some sound quality, something with some decent tweeters. just dont need to spend alot. I have my camaro, when i need a fix. It has the older Mb quart premuims, before they got bought and 2 12 w6v2's. I was reading around and i think i read, that u sell rainbows? How much would germs be? Or do they still make those?

Well I stand corrected. I couldve swore my bosses 98 Z24 had a double din though.

It'll fit. Unless it's longer than my x592 in the back. Even though it is a tight squeeze as far as the wires on the drivers side.
