you are not mistaken.  really, any DIN deck should fit.  Perhaps a
control unit (cruise, ignition?) might have to be moved an inch or so?

I've never had any radio fitment problem with my coupe.  Which has a 4kq
center console in it now, but... I  have some old Kenwood cassete unit. 
Certainly no shallower than the run of decks out there.

ok I'll go measure... I have a coupe gt console in my hands now:

width: 7" + a hair
height: 2" + a hair
depth to metal bracket with rubber stop hole: 7.5"

the 7 x 2 has about 3/16" of an inch of plastic on each side that can be
removed, too.
