double DIN in dash. Possible?

I know that the factory opening in the dash of my 01 civic isn't quite double DIN. However, I have a Sony XAV-7W Media center and am wishing to install a Pioneer DEQ-7600 equalizer. I have found a place online claiming they have a dash kit that will enable double DIN mounting using the factory opening. It doesn't seem possible. Any thoughts? Has anybody done it. Will it require expensive dash modification? Thanks for the help.

That kit needs to be modified to fit.

that kit doesn't need to be modified to fit. I have one in my car and it works fine. I have my head unit on the bottom and a DVD player on top. the opening is a double din size.

yes they are both din. I will admit it wasn't a perfect fit, I had to cut out that middle bar and I think I had to file down the bottom of the opening so that my deck could swing open, and it was quite a bit of work to make it work properly, but it can be done, regardless.

PopcornPlaya is a splendid one to behold

I did a flip-flop DIY about 2 years ago on here. Looks like he took my words and added pictures, rewording a few parts. Regardless, it works, as I did that in my civic when I still had it.
