Certainly what we use as well !!

Still tricky, but never yet had to bodge a spacer in the dash, that is just poor quality workmanship that give the Trade a very bad name.

well god news i think , ook the car back this morning , spoke to one of the fitters , explained the situation and shown them the h/u fitted now , told him one my bus cables ran short ( only just made it to the rear seat area ) asked can we do a deal for extension cable or speakers for the work previously done said sure something can be arranged , he agreed was not good installation , so looking good ....

i had no trouble fitting my clarion although i did convert 4x of the speaker chanels to RCA in the kick panel so not to have lots of wires behind the HU
