EATC swap question

[LOUDSHO92]

For those who have moved their EATC to the bottom, how much room is there up there behind the EATC? Is it deeper then the stereo bay? I know the EATC is shorter then a stereo but I was curious how the room is up there. If anyone can let me know it would be great. I have my computer I need to place.

There is about the same size room as the HU area, I was surprised that my moniter fit as well as it did, but i know if it were any bigger it would not have. Here is an old pic, the car is starting to be gutted so i will get pics next week of how deep it really is for you.

Here's a picture of mine!

My cva-1000 is a bit longer then a standard din size. I do the wireing harness on the back of the tv is like crunched up against som ducting up there. It is a tight fit but it does work and looks awesome when it is done!

In those pictures it looks like the EATC sticks out an inch or so. Does it? Does the swap look like it belongs there? I want to put gauges in the EATC slot and I can't stand half-assed shit.

Yes it does if you don't trim the plastic around the unit. I trimed mine and then it come sin farther and you get basicly get it all nice and flush. It looks great when you are done!

There's no gaps around the outside?

 

[ShoGuy93]

Nope if you trim it right there isn't!

yeah I trimmed mine off where it met the unit. I more or less jammed it in the space with a little electrical tape on the sides touching the side of the center. It looks nice, I mght post a pic of it here too.

Yep thats what I did to. Used a little electrical tape to make it a little more tighter and then jammed it in there. And its pretty flush.

i put an iva d310 in mine i had to remove vent behind eatc for the unit to clear or you could space it out and leave the vent i went for the clean look and the eatc fits like a glove in the radio space if trimmed out right like the other guys said
