Retrosound

Not a ton of money. Installed the retrosound stereo. Also installed molded kick panel speakers, one piece unit. For the cost, super sound. Love radio and speakers and direct auxiliary hookup for my iPhone.

I'll get u some. Speakers came from summit and radio straight from retro. Not enough feedback on this stuff so I thought I would post.

Removed old kick panels entirely and put strips of fatmat inside void for rattling. Bought 5' male- to-male audio jack. Plugs into front or rear of stereo if u want to hide it.

I'm looking for a dash mount iPod dock to run straight up.

Works great with iPhone. I'm spoiled with the Bluetooth in my ford truck but this is a cant beat for the price and stock look.

Re: Retrosound

I have a Retrosound unit in my C-10 and absolutely love it. Thumb drive input, aux input for my XM radio, and a front panel plug for my iPod.

Re: Retrosound

What speakers are you guys running with them? I am planning on 5-6" round in the kick panels and 8-10" oval in the corner behind the seat up near the top of the seats. Does the unit come with 4 speaker outputs or will I need to plan on a amp to split them out? MIght also put in a sub woofer at some point too.

Re: Retrosound

I'd like to see pictures of the kickpanels installed on an AD. The pictures in the catalogs really don't let you see what they look like installed. Anyone have those?
