My OEM radio went about 12 kinds of tits up and my really nice aftermarket Pioneer is too deep to fit in the Riviera, so for now my solution is a Lepai 2020A+ electrical-taped in place. Eventually I’ll replace it with a 7" tablet (probably one of those $50 Amazon Fire tablets) which will have an RCA cable running to my 4 channel amp and my 1-channel monoblock amp in the trunk, powering all of my speakers. I even found a way to power the door speakers with the 4-channel without running any new wires. Just connect the rear speaker connections to the front speaker connections at the wiring harness, then unplug the rear speakers and hook up the old rear speaker wires to the front speaker channel of my 4-channel amp. All I need now are the appropriate 3.5mm to RCA adaptors and three RCA splitters to take a single stereo channel and plug it into front/rear/bass.
This little amp actually sounds amazing. Can’t get too loud, but it’s fine for now.

Buy a real headunit without the CD drive, they’re atleast half depth. Say the Pioneer MVH-X560BT or the X360, x370 or x380.
The many y-splits may well end you up with problems sadly..
My X-type is too a real Jaguar

Hit the Pick n Pull with a tape measure, you might find a groovy 8 track

Walmart sells a shallow radio for $20. Only radio and aux input with amp out etc. it's like an inch deep. My wife's radio was stolen, I'm going to get one for her. She only listens to her phone anyhow...

No matter what I do I’m going to have to use some y splits, because I’ve yet to come across a head unit that has front, rear, and sub preouts that isn’t some Chinese piece of crap.

That sounds like a huge case of “you get what you pay for” then again I suppose if I’m just using the RCA preouts it couldn’t really be that bad... Bluetooth is kind of a requirement, though, and this would mean getting a hideous single-DIN install kit. Ugh.

Dude, when the radio dies in a Riviera, you must put a new one din where the CD storage is, it fits perfectly. I then put an Android tablet where the factory 1.5 Din went

There’s plenty with all 3 sets... the X560bt has for example.

This is what I would like to do. Either that or just make a doubleDIN faceplate with a built in phone mount. What year was yours and how did you get the radio wiring harness relocated down to the cd storage area?

Pricey, but nice. I love Pioneer. Running three sets of RCAs all the way back to the trunk would be a bit of a bitch, though. I need to just get everything in my trunk and the wiring roughed in and see where I stand. Of course I have a blown door speaker so I can’t really get a good idea of what sounds best with that shitty situation.

Pricey? Oh i see the issue with being unable to find a headunit with 3 pre-outs then... If the cabling is the issue, just run normal speaker wire and signal(high level) to a High level to low level adaptor/converter in the back, but you still need a similar sized power cable ran, so the RCA’s shouldn’t be that much harder..

Power cabling is stupid easy. The battery is already in the rear of the car.

I had a 96 and 95 at the same time, and I broke out a soldering gun and extended the factory harness down to a JVC head unit. I sold both cars for a Roadmaster Wagon, but I will try to find pics
