WELCOME

Thank you for purchasing a RetroSound® Stereo Dash Speaker. RetroSound® Stereo Dash Speakers feature a dual voice coil design with two flush mount tweeters and deliver a stereo mix from a single speaker location. These speakers offer high power handling with excellent bass response in a slim design for when space is at a premium. The dip-cut backplate allows for extended pole piece excursion, providing more powerful bass tones with little to no distortion. An 8 ohm wiring kit is included for use with OE factory radios.

ITEM WARRANTY

During the “Parts” warranty period, there will be no charge for parts. You must mail in your unit during the warranty period at your expense. This warranty only applies to products purchased directly from Retro Manufacturing or an authorized dealer. This warranty is extended only to the original purchaser of a new product that was not sold “as is.” A purchase receipt or other proof of the original purchase date is required for warranty service.

LIMITED WARRANTY LIMITS AND EXCLUSIONS
This warranty ONLY COVERS failures due to defects in materials and workmanship and DOES NOT COVER normal wear and tear or cosmetic damage. The warranty ALSO DOES NOT COVER damages that occurred during shipment, failures which are caused by products not supplied by the warranter, failures that result from accident, misuse, abuse, neglect, bug infestation, mishandling, misapplication, alteration, faulty installation, set-up adjustment, maladjustment of consumer control, improper maintenance, improper antenna, inadequate signal reception or pickup, power line surge, improper voltage supply, lightning, modification, commercial use (such as use in hotels, offices, restaurants, or other business uses) or rental use of the product, or service by anyone other than Retro Manufacturing, LLC, or damage that is attributable to acts of God.

The items listed are not exclusive but are for illustration only.) ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, ARE LIMITED TO THE PERIOD OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the exclusions may not apply to you.
