Has anyone installed an Alpine 9807 ?

Does anyone have an Alpine 9807 in their 2G, i was just wondering if they fit or if i'll need to do any cutting. Thanks -

i think that's just a standard DIN size radio, all you should need is a dash kit from any audio store. although ive seen people use the RS/GS 2g pocket that came factory, they buy it from the dealer, so you have a nice pocket for the remote or whatever under the radio. is that the 60watt unit? from what i remember if its the 60 watt and you aren't running a 4 channel, you'll want to run the power wire right to the battery with about a 10 ga wire so that the v-drive actually gets enough power.
later

Its the 50 watt model, with 3 outputs. I plan on powering my speakers by a seperate amp. Also - this fits my 95 corolla which i plan on driving till July when i can actually afford a gsx and so do you think i'll need to hook the head unit up to my corolla's battery for now? or just leave it the way it is? Thanks a lot.

I have the exact same HU.

nope, that unit doesn't need to go to the battery, just the 60 watters

Hey, are the 60w alpine head units DIN radios and just need that wire to the battery, or do they have a completly different harness?

Thanks

standard din size, but the v-drive ones with the 60 watts have a clear harness going into the radio and th eother one shave a black one, i think it's for illumination or something i can't remember. but all you're doing is extending the normal power wire it's not like a special harness or anything.

I have the 7894 with the vdrive stuff, had to run a 10gauge wire to the battery

i like all alpine products, but it depends on what you want out of the system. check on crutchfield so you can do a side by side view with the other models you choose and find out if you really want 3 pre outs, if you need motorized faces and shit like that. alpine=can't go wrong with any of it imo
