Default stereo dash kit

I know this probably belongs in the generic audio forum, however can someone recommend a double din dash kit that does not require extensive renovations to make it work in a 94-97 accord. The scosche and metra reviews are terrible and I have no desire to go that route if I can avoid it. Thanks in advance

I looked around alot, and found nothing worth the money being charged.
All we not strong enough to keep the unit from bouncing around.
Ended up making one from aluminium.
Bolts to factory location, and holds e erything nice and sturdy.
I think i posted some pictures of what i did somewhere on here.

I could not find one made for this generation of Accord neither when I did mine--I ended up buying a generic double din metal dash kit and made it work for my purpose.


I don't think they make a 2-din dash kits for this generation(it was supposed to be 1-din). If there were, I could not find them.

I've found the kits, but they all turn out to be junk according to reviews. Im mostly trying to just find one that works well enough but doesnt seem like crap which apparently is the metra and scosche ones for this car gen.

Someone mentioned PAC to me, but I cant seem to find where they carry their kits. Or has someone fabbed up something I could possibly make on my own as well.

It is technically a double din opening already, but without custom brackets it will be loose in the dash, Metra makes a DD kit 95-7801 that works pretty good. 94

This looks like the same kit I tried before but never got any luck with it. I finally gave up and used a similar kit below (see link). I did not pay $21 for it though
