    Head unit install help

    I have a 2003 corolla and its a double din head unit well i just bought and alpine cda single din head unit and also a alpine 11 chanel equalizer which is also single din. How would i go about installing it so the alpine head unit is on top then the equalizer on the bootm of it. Is there a bezel for this or would i have to get this custom done?

    Just use two single din kits.....most kits come with a few different options of installation. (brackets, clips, etc)

    Go to your toyota dealer and ask for "ears" for the unit. Dunno exactly what they're called and dunno if they stock this. The stock unit in the corolla is actually wider than double din, which is why most people would get a fitting kit like the scosche one. Problem is, in your case, the scosche one is only for single din. If you know someone who has a toyota echo they may have one. I recently changed my parents echo's stereo and it had those "ears". As for the brackets, you can probably use the ones that your stock unit is being held in place with.
