Great Unit at a Great Price

Bought this unit for my 1972 442 which we are restoring. Unit arrived very well packaged and when promised. Unit is very nice and the specs on it are exactly what we wanted for the upgraded stereo system we are installing in the car.

Great speaker for old cars

There seems to be some confusion surrounding the advertised specs listed on the Crutchfield website for the RetroSound R-410N speaker. The Crutchfield website states 2-90 watts RMS and 160 watts peak power. However, the speaker packaging and speaker itself states 50 watts RMS and 100 watts max with a peak power of 200 watts. I assume this means that that each of the dual voice coils operates separately at 50 watts RMS/100 watts max, for a peak power of 200 watts for both coils combined. Not sure why this website states different numbers. Another discrepancy between the specs listed on the website versus the speaker packaging is that the website states it has Mylar dome tweeters, but the packaging states the R-410N uses silk dome tweeters. The wires for the tweeters stick up above the surface of the speaker very slightly, meaning they can slightly contact the metal underside of my dash and possibly cause a short. I trimmed them by about 3/16" and re-soldered them to eliminate that possibility. They still have plenty of slack to allow for movement of the speaker cone. Lastly, the bottom-mount depth is listed on the website as 2-3/16". In real life it measures to approximately 2-1/32". It is only about 1/32" taller than the original 4x10" front speaker that came out of my 1966 Pontiac GTO. Note: In this vehicle application, you will have to cut the metal speaker basket in order to reuse the original speaker mounting brackets. Sound quality is great.

Far superior to the factory speaker

I am very happy with the performance of this speaker. The 6x9 should have fit, but it didn't. Since the car has no baffle, and the dash is very open underneath, I designed and built a small enclosure to fit under the dash. Unfortunately, I could not get the Thiele/Small parameters for the woofer so I had to experiment with a moveable baffle in the small enclosure. What I ended up with was a ported enclosure of approximately 125 cubic inches interior volume. It has a port approximately 10" long and 1.5 square inch opening. I would describe the bass response as adequate for most listening in a vehicle. Without taking any actual measurements, but listening to a variety of musical arrangements, it seems a bit heavy in the midrange but with sufficient highs for good clarity. My subjective estimate is that somewhere in the 1-4 kHz range there are some peaks of 3-6 dB. I have not tested this in the car yet (several more months before the electrical system and interior are ready for that), so my listening was done in a large garage, feeding the completed speaker system from a home theater receiver. We will be adding a sub-woofer to the car just to fill in the bass notes below about 50 Hz where this seems to roll off, after tuning the port to the best overall sound (again, just to my subjective ear). I hope I remain as happy when it is in the car

Success after a lot of tinkering and cutting!

It wasn't a perfect fit for our 1969 Ford Torino. We were able to make it work with some modifications that definitely voided any warranty and would prevent us from returning the speaker. It is still way better then a torn 50 year old speaker! I would buy again for a different car if there is room in the dash for it.

I bought this for my 1954 chevy belair. It mounted right where the original front speaker was. Outstanding sound . This speaker fits right in with my Retrofit radio and rear speakers easy install and great sound. I prefer this set up because I didn't have to install speakers in the front kick panels or door panels and you get the same great sound. I am very pleased with this set up.

I put it in a 67 gto. I did have to trim back some of the metal in the bottom to use the factory mounting brackets to put in factory dash location. For what it is it's not a bad speaker. Sound isn't the greatest but with some 6x9s in the package tray and a small powered sub it makes for a well rounded stereo for these old cars. I'd order again.

Suprising sound in single speaker space.

For vintage car applications this speaker has really suprised me with the sound you get from it. Of course a modern component style speaker is better, but when cramped space, single center speaker dash confines rule that it, this is a great speaker, from experience better than 2 really small speakers in that space. I have used it with converted original radios, and this Pioneer amp and you get all the sound you need. Loud enough and clear enough to enjoy your music blowing down the road with the windows down.

This is a winner!

I found the speaker to meet my requirements in full. In fact, my car model is a LTD convertible. The speaker required about 15 minutes alteration to fit in the dash pad. Great fit other than that. Sound is great, better than door speakers. Definitely not top shelf but way more than I expected. Highly recommend for this application.

Groovy, Man

This speaker, when I finally figured it out, sounds great. It will stick up from the dash a bit more than the original, but I can trim foam with the best of them. The instructions could have been more clear, but those are the instructions in the box, which are in no way a fault of Crutchfield.

Great retro-fit for mono cars

I never thought I'd ever get stereo sound in the front of my late 60s Olds without some major work. Found this baby and it works great! Plenty of power, and sounds great. Probably doesn't sound as good as if you did a full overhaul, but considering all the wind, engine, and road noise the car already has, it's going to do just fine!

The tech said the oem size was 4X10 because I had not removed the radio or speaker before ordering I went with his info. When I recived the new radio and speaker I removed the oem and found that I should have a 6X10. I was able to install the 4X10 and make it work. I just didn't feel like going thru the hassel of sending it back, my choice.

Great Concept, Poor and Cheap Execution

Upon opening the box, only one thought crossed my mind, "I paid close to $80 for this?!" Speaker is very lightweight. The chrome backing as seen in the pictures you'd assume was metal? Nope, chrome plated plastic. Now, I did not tear apart the dash of my 66 Chevelle to test fit, just wired the speaker up and placed on top of the dash. Sound is decent at low levels and I was actually impressed. However, after starting the car, the sound from the speaker was no match for only sound worth hearing in a classic car, the rumble of the V8. Decided what's the point of a sound system in a classic car, and ended up returning the speaker and installing a radio blank-off plate. But then again, your mileage may vary.

Gets the job done.

Replaced front single center of dash speaker in 1967 Camaro. This speaker has dual voice coils so both left and right channels can come through one speaker. Install was smooth enough and speaker looked to be of reasonable construction. Sound is middle of the road and not as good as a modern factory speaker let alone what you would like to see from an aftermarket speaker. Considering you are getting two speakers in one it may be fair to only expect OK sound quality from this speaker. It is not a "high end" price either. Also it is a HUGE improvement over the original speakers. The car is a convertible and GM put one speaker in the front dash and one in the back. The back speaker was buried under the top when it is down and could not be heard. Lastly the support bracket supplied was way to flimsy. I had to use some thicker steel I had laying around or the radio would have fallen away from the dash and rattled.

retrosound 4x10

overall i am pleased with this speaker although it wasnt a total bolt in installation. I purchased the speaker to replace my original in my 69 superbee. I liked the dual voice coil idea due to the fact the car only has one front speaker. I did need to use the exising frame off of my old speaker to make this one work with the ca because the speaker mounting holes provided were a inch too short.. I am powering it with a pioneer 4400, no amp and a pair of 6x9 rockfords in the rear. Sound quality is good

Great Vintage replacement

I purchased this to fit the 1965 Rambler American 440 convertible I am working on. The inclusion of the mounting kit was just what I needed to complete the installation. I went a bit farther than most. I have a hidden stereo amplifier in the glove box for my i-tunes but I mounted and wired a 4 pole, double throw switch so that I can switch it to the series mode and hook it back to the original AM Radio. Plays great and sounds better than the original speaker when hooked to the radio and the clarity for the stereo is wonderful. Makes great sound and fits perfectly with the included mounting kit.

Not for original 70's era radios

This may be a great speaker but ....This speaker will not work with an original 70's era GM radio. It requires a 10ohm impedence speaker ...this one is 4ohm. You can harm your radio if you hook up the wrong impedence speakers.

Retrosound 4x10

I bought this speaker for a factory center dash speaker application in a full size '62 Pontiac. This speaker is very shallow and it solved an interference problem between the previous replacement dash speaker and the body of the original AM radio. Its unique design allows you to wire both channels to one speaker to give a fuller sound from a single speaker, but you can wire it to a single channel. I wired it to both front channels of a moderately priced Alpine head unit and it sounds pretty good although it would probably sound better if I ran the signal through an amp. I did run in to a slight fitment problem with the factory speaker studs in the dash. I had to file the fastener holes in the speaker frame slightly to get the speaker to fit, but that's no big deal. I would definitely recommend this speaker to people trying to get better sound in an older car while maintaining the factory appearance of the interior without modifying the car. Its short profile is a major asset for dash applications

What a perfect solution to the blown out flush mount dash speaker in my 59 Coupe DeVille. Installation took less than 10 minutes. The speaker had the exact spacing for the mounting bolts/nuts and it sounds great with my XMp3 and an amplifier hidden inside the glove box. I'm glad I checked Chrutchfield for the solution. Delivery was great too. Awesome product, service, web site, delivery etc...resulting in total customer delight!

2 speakers in one

This was a great purchase for replacing my single center mounted speaker in the front dash. I had to modify the bracket, but the speaker had some bolt holes to attach the new mount. The fact that it serves as both the left and right speaker in a single package works out great and the sound is fantastic compared to the old original speaker.
