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.

Step #1 Determine the Mounting Location
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 door of your vehicle, check all door functions (windows, door locks, etc.) through their entire range of motion to ensure the speaker will not obstruct them.

Step #2 Route the Speaker Wires
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.

Step #3 Cut the Speaker Holes
If you are cutting holes for your speakers, refer to the specification chart (see page 5) 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.

Step #4 Connect the Speakers
Feed the speaker wires through the speaker opening and connect to the speaker terminals. Connect the negative wire to the negative (-) speaker terminal and positive to the positive (+) speaker terminal.

Step #5 Mount the Speakers
Fit the speaker into the cutout and secure it using the supplied screws. If needed, place a speed clip over each drilled hole before mounting the speaker. (Some models may require placing the grill base before placing the speaker.)

Step #6 Complete the Installation
Tighten all screws until the speaker is snug and in place to prevent rattling. Be careful not to overtighten the screws. Complete the installation by placing the grill (if included) over the installed speaker.
If you have any questions or concerns about your speakers, please contact us at tech@retromanufacturing.com

• Use high-quality connectors to prevent fire 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
