For SE_Sport_Driver,

I attached a few pics of the sled. You should be able to see in the pics where I had to cut the opening a bit larger than the sled. Sounds like you are putting a blank pocket in with the Empeg. The pocket I got from Crutchfield is not quite as tall as the Empeg and you should be able to mount it flush with the bezel, so you should be able to get by with much less cutting (just cut out 2 sides for the sled, but no need to cut top or bottom). If you can put the sled in after the bezel and are putting it in the top spot, it should hide the cut edges quite well.

Soooooo.....not sure how relevant my install is. I'm pretty committed to the 2 HU install. When I redo it I will have the joy of doing all that cutting again and will be cutting upwards even more into the bezel (and into some of the dash innards) to raise the Empeg enoush so that the Kenwood sits flush with it, not stuck behind the lip of the sled.
