I have a frame for the Kenwood head unit, but it seems a little on the big side. the head is the Excelon kdc-x915 that has the "black" mode for safety. When I put the frame up to it, it is a bit bigger than the face plate of the stereo. You can basically see in to the metal "cage" the head unit sits in.

Anyone have the # and manufacturer of the one they used? I'd like a cleaner looking finish.

Thanks

joe

Default I had to make my own outta a sheet of 1/8" aluminum, and then polish to match

Noone makes a surround that I am aware of.

Maybe plexi glass? Fiberglass can always work.
