Y2K 4Runner Installation question

I have been perusing the posts for hours now and I dont think I have seen this question before; Does anyone have a suggestion or opinion on which CD/receiver head unit looks best when mated to an empeg mark2 player (blue) in a double din opening? I am curious which manufacturer and model’s style compliments the empeg best (sony, blau, alpine, etc). Hopefully - one currently still in production would be nice.

I havent ruled out an amp and the empeg tuner, but I dont want an ugly hole (or pocket) in my double din dash. Any other suggestion on what I should do with the extra space?

(It begs the question - Why doesnt empeg sell a din sized expansion unit? It could hold more drives or bolt on features like wireless ethernet. Of course it should have a large display on the 2nd unit. But it think this is another post for a different forum!)

I must say, you're the first person who's ever been concerned with what an aftermarket CD player looks like when placed in the dash next to an Empeg.

Have a browse through the (paper) Crutchfield catalog while you've got a photo of the Mark2 up on the computer screen. That should give you enough to go on.

Any other suggestion on what I should do with the extra space?

Assuming you don't find any CD players you like, umm.... din-sized GPS receiver? Weather radar? AutoPC? Center channel speaker? Photos of the wife and kids? Police/CB radio scanner?
