mounting HU at 90 degree angle?

    I'm considering a Tuffy center console (http://www.tuffyproducts.com/consoles/tj/067.html) to stealth mount a subwoofer and HU in my 2006 Jeep Wrangler. However this requires the HU to be mounted at a 90 degree angle (face facing upward).

    Will CDs still play properly in this position if I get an Alpine CDA-9856 or CDA-9857? If not, what do you all recommend as an alternative HU in the same league as one of these? I prefer Alpine, or perhaps Kenwood, if possible, but am open to other suggestions.

    Thanks :)

    Should be OK, but rember this, pretty much all decks have the cd players suspension designed for horizontal mounting, +/- 30 degrees or so......
