USER MANUAL
MODERN SOUND FOR YOUR CLASSIC

WELCOME

Thank you for purchasing a RetroSound® Triax™ Stereo Replacement Dash Speaker. RetroSound® Triax™ Dash Replacement  Speakers feature a dual voice coil design with two flush mount tweeters (left and right) to 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.
