Frequently Asked Questions
Do your radios work on 6 volt systems or on positive ground systems?
No. Our radios are 12 volt, negative ground only. After-market converters
and inverters are available but must provide at least 10 amps of continu-
ous output.
I have all 4 speakers connected to your radio and the display is lit up
like it is working, but there’s no sound coming out.
This usually indicates one of two things:
The sound output is all mid-range, with very little bass and a
strangled-sounding upper range. What is wrong?
One of your speaker wires is connected backwards. This is called being
“out of phase.” Check to make sure positive is wired to positive and nega-
tive to negative on all your speakers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will cutting or bending the InfiniMount Brackets void the warranty
or harm the unit?
No. The RetroSound® patented InfiniMount Bracket system has been de-
signed specifically to be bent, cut and modified to simplify radio instal-
lation. Modifying the radio’s brackets is actually encouraged to ensure
proper fit.
If you have questions about modifying the brackets, contact us via email
at [email protected] or visit help.retromanufacturing.com.
How much should I tighten the shaft nuts when installing the
brackets and mounting the radio to the dash?
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN the shaft nuts. The shaft nuts are NOT the
only means of securing the radio to the dash. There is a backstrap includ-
ed which works with the shaft nuts to secure the radio to the dash. Please
note that overtightening the shaft nuts could break the shafts. Retro Man-
ufacturing, LLC will not be responsible for broken shafts due to overtight-
ening the shaft nuts.
• Make sure the amplifier’s gain controls are not turned all the way
up. Amplifiers amplify everything, including noise.
• Try a filter on the amplifier’s 12 volt power lead. Make sure to use
a filter that includes a ground wire.
