PRECAUTIONS
Precautions
It is best to consult a professional installation
specialist to help with your installation.
Prior to installation, always follow these rules:
• Carefully read and understand the instructions
before attempting installation.
• Always disconnect the negative (-) battery
terminal. 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.
• Check the installation area before drilling. Make sure
you won’t drill into the gas tank, fuel lines, brake lines,
hydraulic lines, vacuum lines or electrical wiring.
• Never run wires underneath the vehicle.
• Avoid running wires over sharp edges. Use rubber
grommets to protect any wires routed through metal.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The following tools may be needed for installation
of your RetroSound® speakers
• #2 Phillips screwdriver
• Battery post wrench
• Hand held drill with assorted bits
• Wire strippers
• Wire crimpers
• Wire cutters
Included in your box are two speakers, speaker wires,
speaker grilles (some models) and mounting screws.
Before installation, disconnect the negative (-) battery
terminal to prevent damage to your system.
Mounting
1. Run speaker wires before installing your speakers.
Avoid sharp edges that could fray or cut the wiring.
Use rubber grommets to protect any wires that need to
be routed through metal. Use high quality connectors to
minimize signal loss. Never run wires outside the vehicle.
2. 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 the
doors, check all door functions (windows, door
locks, etc) through their entire range of motion
to ensure the speaker will not obstruct them.

3. If you are cutting speaker holes, refer
to the specication chart to determine
the nominal mounting diameter.
4. Using the speaker grille as a template, mark
the locations for the speaker mounting screws.
Drill the holes with a 1/8-inch drill bit.
5. Feed the speaker wires through the opening and
connect to the speaker terminals. Take care to connect
the negative wire to the negative (-) speaker terminal,
and positive to the positive (+) speaker terminal.
6. Fit the speaker into the cutout. Fit the grille over the
speaker. Mount them using the enclosed screws.
Tighten until the speaker is snug and in place to
prevent rattling. Do not overtighten screws.
