Tim you're right... the width and height are standard, but having done this
job last weekend, it seems around 6 1/2" is really the max depth receiver
you can fit.  This leaves you with a lot of choices though.

I squeezed in a no frills Kenwood KDC-128 CD receiver.  Can't wait to take
advantage of the Cracker Barrel books-on-CD exchange thing next time I have
to go any distance on the interstate!  My 1984 tape deck had gotten a habit
of eviscerating tapes and spitting out the ribbon.
