Default Radio install kit question

Do they make a install kit for a 1 din radio and a 1/2 din equalizer? I'm wanting to put one in my car but don't want it to look like crap. I also don't feel like fabing up anything. If not, I know they make a double din set up for our cars, do they make a 1 din to a 1/2 din converter? Thanks.




This is what I'm wanting to install.

There is no din and ½ bracket, but you can mount the two parts double din style, and fab a piece of ABS. Very easy, minimal work.

Can you put two different name brand radio and eq's together?
I'm looking at one of these with the clarion radio.

It's not "designed" for a 1/2 din but you can modify the pocket like Don said to make it fit.

Finally got it in. Now I just need to decide which route I want to go eq wise.





I can even put my own messages in there if I want.

I like the look of the radio ISO mounted. My radio is mounted the same way. I'm in search of a 1/2 DIN eq myself. I think ARC Audio will be the way to go, they have a couple of nice eq's.
