then get a 10w6 or something similar. if you're only gonna go w/ one speaker make sure its powerful enough
IMO if its a lease it would be easier to swap out the HU, that way the OEM HU stays untouched, then when its time to give the car back you can swap out everything yourself

No im not saying it can't be done, but I think it will involve more than just adding the NAV unit. I was just trying to think on the best route to go. I would just switch the HU with a pioneer NAV for the double din or even better the alpine w200.

it brought them everything, from dash kit, ac controller, sub, amp, box, HU, PAC unit.
all i got from them was the amp kit and the wiring. it came out to a lil over $300 for everything to be installed

From what I understand, you can't add a factory nav to a car that didn't come with it because of differences in the wiring harnesses. I also think it would likely cost as much, if not more, to install the factory nav in you non-nav car (if you could do it) than to install an aftermarket head unit with nav.

not crazy but a lot of work, when it could be a lot easier to swap out the HU

ok let me get this straight. Double din is when there are two slots and the HU would flip out of one of the slots? Or do you mean that it would be like an in-dash set-up? Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions fellas.
it would def be a in dash set up. if it was a single din, then it would be a flip out w/ an empty slot under, where most people put a lil open storage area.
here's a pic of mine if it helps

The old time standard radio size was governed by international standards. I forget exactly what DIN stands for, but in stereo head units it is the size of a standard, old-fashioned radio. They set a standard so all radios would fit all cars.
Most new cars avoid this and use OEM specific radio sizes... probably so everyone won't dump the OEM stereo and put in good stuff.
When stereo systems with video standards became popular, the standards committees made a new standard that was two single-DIN units stacked on top of each other. From then on the original DIN size was sometimes called single-DIN and the new, taller video size was called double-DIN.
