Go to Crutchfields site. There are a boat load of Double Din. They have a search tool that will let you see what fits.
I have two single din in my dash. Dang near anything fits in here with the right adaptor.
For anyone going to aftermarket single din, Wall-Mart now carries the Scoschc units. Get your harness adaptor there for 7 bucks, and your radio adaptor for 10. These are Scoschc brand, and look much better than the Metra at most other places.
The harness adaptor is also the premium with the extra wires, not the cheap one from Circuit City, Crutchfields etc.

crutchfield only shows 1 unit that will "fit" will most any double din unit work or is it only certain ones?

Are you sure that you are using the new model option? It shows 3 double din on the first page.
Again, there is a huge amount of space in there. Any aftermarket double-din should fit.
The prices there will put you into shock though. I only reference it because it has a lot in one place and a useful, if not complete, search by fit setup.
On e-bay you can find lots more double din, and many of the vendors use a 'will it fit' function.
transam396, you still looking for a sound system? I thought you nabbed something from that outlet store.

There are lots more. Notice the high satisfaction rating on these vendors.
I don't see a problem getting double din.
Chris
Whoops had to edit to remove links. Must be a stereo vendor as a sponsor. Didn't know.
Still, go to ebay and key in these numbers and check out some options.

I'm going to wait till i get a new headunit to put the other amp in. It looks good and sounds good but I've gotten bit by the bug and now I want a new headunit as well I'm just checking all my options and trying to get the best bang for the buck. But it has to look good as well

Chris, is there a kit available that allows you to mount another unit under the single din stereo? All the ones I have seen wont allow it because of the tray. I have a cb radio that fits perfectly underthere but I cant figure out how to get everything mounted.

If you get the double din, look over the instructions carefully as there are a couple ways to put it together wrong. You will also need some SHORT bolts to go through the plastic sides, and not too far into your stereo CB/Monitor/DVD/GPS or whatever.
