Metra Single din

Anyone using the metra kit with just a basic single din radio? I am either going to go that route or get a sound processor for a good clean signal for my mids and highs amp. And keep my factoty radio. I don't have the factory ba amp.

I went that route with an Alpine CDA-117. It sounds great with the Audison amp and Hertz speakers. The metra functions as stated but the cubby hole left with the single din is a little cheesy. The metra climate control works but it is awkward and the display is hard to read at night with the instruments dimmed low.

At some point I'll mount some other hardware in the cubby hole. Maybe an O2 gauge and/or the remote head from my old V1.

On a one to ten I'll give it a 9 for function, a 3 for astetics and a 2 for ergonomics.

Yea I dont really care for the looks of the controls on the metra. Although I know I can't good signal with the foctory head unit. So its a choice clean sound or nice looking controls.
