Default 2nd Gen GS: Utilizing the CD changer compartment

I'm thinking of putting a single din unit in the factory CD changer slot, is this possible?

Was thinking about putting a PS 3 or Xbox 360 in there. Is it big enough?

single din unit in the factory cd changer slot(do you mean taking out the entire cd changer and installing a single din in its place?
if so it is possible with some modification which will be required to fill up the space left behind.
also a ps3 or xbox 360 can also be done, i have seen a ps2(not the tiny one but the regular sized one and an old xbox not the 360 fit in there.
i remember Lexbox fitting an xbox in his glove compartment.
just search his name "Lexbox" and you will see it.
I have an eclipse cd changer which is bigger than the stock pioneer in my glove.
i have to cut off part of the compartment to fully expose it though.
With the upturn of modding vehicles, it is almost "possible" to do any in modifying vehicles.
Good luck

Shouldn't be a problem...

I have a Mac Mini and a USB hub there. The Mac Mini's dimensions are close to a single din radio. Mac mini dimensions - 2 x 6.5 x 6.5 in.

I just purchased a avic-z1, it's a double din. Well I have a single din graphic EQ that I would also like to use and have no clue where I should put it. I was thinking of talking out the ashtray and having it custom fit there, but we know how expensive custom jobs can be...

you do know the Z1 has an EQ right.
i would sell that EQ and save some money. no need for two EQs.
