I purchased this speaker as a direct stereo replacement for my 1962 corvette. First the mounting holes did not match up , two it was too thick and the mounting nut would not catch. I would not recommend this for a 1962 corvette

RetroSound R-69N

A great speaker for most dash board installation where a 6 x 9 may be used. A very thin design allows for installing in the dash where AC Ducts and other items make it difficult to get a decent speaker installed. The sound quialty is excellent , plus you may have Right and Left or you may cross over and have it as single speaker. Ethier way it still sounds great . The cost is reasonable and the shipping was excellent . Crutchfeild Audio Rocks

Perfect Fit

Perfect fit for the rear seat speaker in my 1970 Buick Electra convertible. (2 1/2 in depth on a 6x9 speaker) Needed to Wire in series and add a 2-ohm resister in order to obtain the required 10-ohm resistance required by the original transistor radio.

Musch better

This has offered more mid-range to the sound. Combined with a powered sub in the trunk, this sound is pretty darn good. The fit and installation was good and simple.

Trim job

Installed this speaker in The dash of my 1958 Impala. This was not just bolt in job, half to remove some metal off of the top of the brace to get speaker to fit. But it sounds great. ??

6''x 9'' RetroSound speaker

This speaker delivers great sound because it's two speakers in one. It was just what I was looking for! I did not want to add a rear speaker because it would be harder to hear the rear track with all the windows open on my '54 Chevy Bel-Air. Vinny C.

I have a 1955 Chevy 210 2 dr. hardtop sports coupe. The car has the original factory air conditioning unit. Because the ac/heater core box is much larger than the heater only unit I could not find a speaker that would fit in the dash. I went through four different speakers with no luck. The Retro Sound R-69N is the only speaker that fit. The pancake design was perfect for any body that needs a narrow width speaker.

Looks good, but didn't work for my application

Looks like a fine speaker but, unfortunately, it didn't actually fit the space of the factory speaker. Due to a unique situation on the '62 Corvair, the thickness of the flange (the actual face of the speaker, where it mounts flush to the underside of the dash) is critical. Rather than cut away some of the speaker, which I'm sure would void the warranty, I opted to return it and order a 4"x10" speaker instead. It will require some mounting adjustments, but will allow the clearance I need. I will review that speaker once I have received and had a chance to test it.

chev2

In my 1955 Chevy Bel Air, I had to cut out part of the center of the original mounting with tin snips to accommodate the extra space needed to clear the 2 added speakers and bend the tabs on each side of the speakers to fit into the original frame. It works fine, but unless you're handy, this could be troublesome. Otherwise its ok.

Better

Replaces the in dash mono speaker that late model firebirds all came with.... Shortly to get blown out and never replaced. This speaker fits the dash and sounds reasonably good compared to the old AC Delco. It sounds a little "tinny" but not bad for what it is.

RetroSound R-69N Review

Last year I replaced the ancient AM/FM/cassette deck in my 1964 Plymouth Belvedere with a RetroSound Model One radio. I've really been enjoying the modern radio in my vintage Mopar. About six months ago I replaced the original speaker under the dash with a RetroSound R-48N dual-voice speaker. That provided much-improved sound quality. I am in the process of redoing some of the interior in the car. Since I had the rear seat and package tray out of the car, I decided to take advantage of the rear access and replace the 20+ year-old pair of cheapo speakers in the rear with a RetroSound R-69N 6x9-inch, dual-voice speaker mounted under the center of the new package tray. I ordered the speaker from Crutchfield, who in turn forwarded my order to RetroSound. I received the new speaker the very next day! You can't get any better service than that! The new speaker's mounting holes lined up perfectly with the factory mounting opening under the package tray support, so it took me about 15 minutes to bolt in the new speaker. The wiring was simple. I just spliced in the wires that came with the speaker to the rear wires I'd installed in the car many years ago. I am definitely not an audiophile, and my car's sound system is pretty basic and low-powered, but I think the R-69N sounds great. It mates up perfectly with the RetroSound Model One, and the available volume is plenty for my needs. RetroSound and Crutchfield are great to deal with. Good products and fast service.

Mr. Hooyah

I purchased a pair of these speakers for a 2008 Nissan Sentra to go in the front door openeings and they fit prefectly even in this car. Thesound quality is excellent and they are a incredible upgrade from any factory they arent the best speakers but they are very nice. The sound is evenly matched to my back JVC 6x9's which can handle up to 330W max but have a higher RMS at 100. The sound is crisp as well as clear and maintains in tact even at very high volumes or during big bass excursions. I highly recommend these for highs and maybe mids at an entry level but work best with a complete 4 channel system upgrade as the replacement for vocal speakers. They offer so so bass so dont expect to get a pounding from these but are overall a very nice choice for any car that can hold a 6x9.

Jaguar Vanden Plas

I installed this dual core speaker in my 98 Vanden Plas due to factory oem speaker had blown i had and upholstery shop nearby to fit it my car had a dual core subwoofer on rear parcel however i needed a slim one as far as depth due to very tight area over gas tank .....this speaker worked perfectly however the bass could be better but at lower levels it works just fine so this speaker is great if bass was a little tighter i would give five stars

I installed a 6x9 and 4x10 speaker in my 67 Fury convertible, one in the dash and the other in the back seat. Both fit perfect and sound great. These speakers were the solution to my desire to install a modern stereo unit and use the original speaker locations in a car that originally had a mono system . This can present a real problem in classic cars, many of which have very little room under the dash. They can be used in either stereo or mono mode, giving you the flexibility to install the system that suits your sound needs best. I recommend these speakers to anyone who wants to keep the original look of their classic wheels while utilizing modern audio technology.

oversize housing at mounting plane can make for a difficult fit

I purchased this for my 1991 Honda Accord LX wagon, which comes with a 6x9 bass speaker at the very rear of the car on the driver's side. The stamped steel frame of this speaker is unnecessarily large in dimension right where it transitions to the mounting plane, making it too large (by just 1/16") to fit in the standard 6"x9" relief well, into which any other typical 6"x9" speaker would fit just fine. If you have a difficult-to-modify relief well opening (the Honda's is steel, and indeed difficult to modify), think twice before purchasing this speaker. Sound quality is passable, but not impressive in any way. The Crutchfield site does not acknowledge the wagon as one of the available Honda Accord LX body styles for 1991. The wagon has different speaker sizes in the rear than either the Accord sedan or coupe - would be great if they updated their site to include the wagons.

Retrosound observations

I purchased this speaker as a replacement for the single rear dual voice coil in my Honda 94 Accord Wagon. Crutchfield do not recommend this unit because of fit and for someone not familiar with tools that is correct. I have the speaker in the car and it works great. The catch? You have to work a little to get the fit. Tools are Dremel, screw driver, soldering gun, and 4 two inch machine screws with same threading as originals. Time if you review job before work about 1 hour or less. You have to cut the mount tabs on the left and right of speaker off and trim out a little of the interior wall material where the speaker mounts. I used factory wiring and tack soldered connections.
