Opinion needed - Stock AM/FM or Retrosound - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**NC67Chev** · 08-15-2010, 05:55 PM

Hi guys,

I'm trying to keep my truck looking pretty much stock, but I do want to replace my AM radio. Anyway, I have the chance to buy a nice stock AM/FM including a new speaker for roughly $300. Coincidentally, this would be close to the amount that I would spend of the Retrosound unit (plus a speaker)that I've been looking at. I'm not a loud music person, so I won't be adding amps, sub-woofers, tweeters, etc. I just want to be able to actually listen to music.

Thanks for your opinions.

The stock AM/FM will look better.....the Retrosound will sound better.

Retrosound hands down, but I'm biased...

The Retrosound will open up a whole plethora of possibilities for any future upgrades or add-ons you may want.

I have a Retro-Sound unit, LOVE IT!

The Retro unit handles my XM radio, and a thumb drive. Retro offers several knob options to make the radio look right at home in most any dash.
