The spacer is actually needed with this HU as the volumn knob prevents the face from coming all the way down without the spacer. Without the space the HU sits half an inch into the dash kit which is why the volumn knob hits.

For the depth the spacer is needed or atleast helps since I did not have to cut. The heat sink on this unit hits the back wall before it can clip into the sleeve without the spacer so I would have had to cut the entire back out to fit the HU. Spacer gave the HU about 1/4 to spare which inturn gave me enough extra room for the rca's.




You can't tell from this pic but this is with the sacer and is not touching. Notice the heatsink on the back of the radio. That was touching without the spacer.



Here is where I mounted the chime box from the axxess/metra wire kit. The rca's had not been ran but had been test fitted at this point. The box has about 3/8" clearance above it from the radio kit's pocket.
