OEM Headunit Weight and Dimensions

Hey guys, a quick question.

I'm wanting to calculate shipping costs for an '03 Bose headunit, and just wanted to know the weight and dimensions if anyone has a unit that they've removed handy.

I won't have time to take mine out for a couple of weeks, so this would be a great help.

TIA

My 03 Bose is 16" x 12" x 9". I don't have a scale but that "brick" is pretty heavy. The only thing I could compare it to was 20lbs and it was lighter than that but not by much. I'm guessing 12-15.

Thanks. If anyone could weight the thing for me, it would be better.

Almost 20 lbs!!! I wouldn't have guessed more than about 7 or 8 , but I've never actually laid eyes on the thing before. With the weight I'll save, I'll be able to go faster, right?

For those who've never taken the head unit out before:

Took my head unit out on the W/E. Not quite as heavy as first thought.

Weight about 6lb 1oz. Unless you count the bracket which weighs almost 1.5lbs.

Dimensions of the 'brick' is 4 1/2"h x 7"w x 6 1/2"d.

The buttons and controls are attached to the dash finisher piece with the circuit board screwed behind.

A 12 conductor strip on the head unit is plugged into a slot on the circuit board and the whole thing is screwed together with the mounting bracket.

Wow, 6? I swear mine has to be heavier than that, but even the 6 cds stuck inside wouldn't make that much of a difference. Sorry my guess was so off.

My measurements were for the finisher and the radio because I thought you were sending both.

No problem. I thought you may have been measuring the finisher as I couldn't figure out how they could fit 16" behind the dash!

It seems heavier when struggling to get the thing out without scratching everything up!
