[Empeg-general] Re: Mark 2 faceplate restricts viewing angle

[alear@empegbbs-noreply.merlins.org]

Henno, I have a 1995 Toyota 4Runner. I don't have a digital camera to take a picture of the empeg but here is a picture of the stock radio.

Note that the picture is taken from dash height and not driver height.

The radio faces straight out and doesn't lean up at all. I have a second video head unit in the lower part of the double DIN opening so I can't really lean the empeg back either. Plus the current mounting position will have to do because the 4Runner dash had to be cut to accomidate the empegs width. Thats a seperate thread <A HREF="http://empeg.comms.net/cgi-bin/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=install&Number=12954&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5" target="_new">here</A>.  The problem may come because SUV's position the driver in a more upright seating position.  So if you mix that with an over 6 foot driver, low dash mount, no tilt mounting, and Murphy's law you get pixel obscurity.
