1.5 DIN to 1 DIN Stereo Adapter Kit.

[woodnjo]

My Workhorse has a pathetic stereo that is 1.5 DIN in size. Options for a decent 1.5 DIN replacement are few or none. Has anyone found and installed an adapter kit that allows installation of a 1 DIN stereo in a 1.5 DIN dash opening?

Try Crutchfield.

Even Wally or Advance Auto sells adapters. You're lucky to be going down in size instead of up.

one thing you might look at first is your speakers. I like the 1.5 din factory radios because the buttons are big and mostly single function. Can't wear my reading glasses while driving, and the microscopic buttons on a fancy aftermarket single din rcvr are just too hard for me to operate.

Had this problem in my wrangler, sound system performance, even with a satellite addon, was just awful. Someone on the jeepforum suggested polk audio speakers, said they had low distortion and very high sensitivity, they produce a lot of clean sound with very little power input. I put 4 of them in the wrangler, stock size exact replacements for the factory speakers, and that old chrysler stereo instantly sounds great, even in a noisy old open jeep!
