DIN refers to a standardized radio/stereo size for vehicles (large enough to accept a CD). The size is 2" high by 7" wide. 2 DIN or double DIN refers to units that are twice as high as the standard DIN, and so 1 DIN would be the standard DIN specification.

Here is a link to a detailed description: http://www.installdr.com/TechDocs/999006.pdf DIN refers to a standardized radio/stereo size for vehicles (large enough to accept a CD). 1 DIN is the standard DIN specification. 2 DIN or double DIN refers to units that are twice as high as the standard DIN, half DIN is half high as 1 DIN.

International standard ISO 7736 defines a standard size for car audio head units. The standard was originally established by the German standards body Deutsches Institut fur Normung, and is therefore commonly referred to as the "DIN car radio size". It was adopted as an international standard in 1984.

Head units generally come in either single DIN (1 DIN), which is 50 mm high; or double DIN (2 DIN), which is 100 mm high.

Sure you can. DIN refers to a standardized radio/stereo size for vehicles (large enough to accept a CD). 1 DIN is the standard DIN specification. 2 DIN or double DIN refers to units that are twice as high as the standard DIN, half DIN is half high as 1 DIN.

Do 96 Jeep Grand Cherokees have single or double din stereo cut outs?

All Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ's(1993-1998) have a 1.5 DIN stereo. It is most easy to get a single DIN kit and install a single DIN stereo, but many have opted to cut out a bigger opening and block off the center vents to fit a double DIN stereo. If you want a 1.5 DIN aftermarket stereo, you will be best off buying a marine stereo. Many manufacturers make 1.5 DIN Marine head units.
