WELCOME
Thank you for purchasing RetroSound® Stereo Speakers. RetroSound®
Stereo Speakers o󰀨er high-quality sound at an exceptional value and are

Precautions
It is best to consult a professional installation specialist to help with your
installation.
Important Installation Guidelines:
• Carefully read and understand the instructions before attempting
installation.
• Always disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal before
beginning any work. Failure to do so may result in damage to the
unit, re, injury, or death.
• Use high-quality connectors to prevent re or damage to the unit.
• Carefully check the installation area before drilling to ensure you
won’t drill into the gas tank, fuel lines, brake lines, hydraulic lines,
vacuum lines, or electrical wiring.
• Never run the speaker wires outside the vehicle.
• Avoid running speaker wires over sharp edges and use rubber
grommets to protect wires when routed through metal panels.
The information enclosed in this manual is to be used as a guide to assist
you with installation and operation of your speakers. This guide does not
cover every installation possibility, vehicle, or every aspect of the installation
process.
Retro Manufacturing, LLC, or its subsidiaries, assume no responsibility for
any installation. This manual may be updated from time to time.

INSTALLATION
Included in your speaker box are two speakers, two speaker grills (on select
models), two sets of speaker wire, and mounting hardware. In addition,
you may need a Phillips screwdriver, handheld drill, 1/8-inch drill bit, wire
strippers, wire crimpers, or wire cutters to complete this installation.
Determine the area where the speakers are to be mounted. Ensure that the
area is large enough to accommodate the entire speaker diameter and that
there is enough mounting depth for the speaker magnet. If you are mounting
your speakers in a vehicle’s doors, check all door functions (windows, door
locks, etc.) through their entire range of motion to ensure the speaker will
not obstruct them.
Route the speaker wires before installing your speakers. Always avoid sharp
edges that could fray or cut the wiring and use rubber grommets to protect
the speaker wires that need to be routed through metal. For the best quality
connection and to minimize signal loss, always use high-quality connectors.
Never run wires outside the vehicle.
If you are cutting holes for your speakers, refer to the specication chart to
determine the nominal mounting diameter and depth. Using the speaker or
grill as a template, mark the locations for the speaker mounting screws and
drill the holes with a 1/8-inch drill bit.
