Default Firebird Head Units

So, I can find all sorts of speakers and amps and other sound equipment for my Firebird, but I can't seem to find any head units. What are some of the ones other people are using, or do you know of a website that has some?? Thanks!

you need a double size head unit, like the ones they use in the Astro minivans and trucks. If you go to crutchfield.com they will show you which ones will fit.

Its a din and a half, not a double din.

They make install kits so you can use single din decks. Which is what the majority of aftermarket is. I ran a Pioneer deh77 for a few years. Which is a din and a half and bolts right in just like factory.

I switched to a Pioneer premier 8mp with an install kit. I like the deh77 because of the alomst factory look, but the 8mp has tons more features and like 7 volt preouts for amps.
