RetroSound 4-Inch Surface-Mount 2-Way Speakers TS42
The RetroSound TS-42 surface-mount 2-way speaker system provides an ideal audio upgrade for classic vehicles, trucks, Jeeps, 4WDs, caravans and motorhomes where factory speaker cutouts are unavailable or impractical. Designed for mounting under the dash, onto kick panels, roll bars, or interior surfaces, these compact speaker enclosures deliver full-range sound without requiring vehicle modification or panel cutting.
Featuring a 4-inch woofer paired with an integrated tweeter, each speaker produces clean, detailed audio with clear highs and vocal clarity. The rugged enclosure design incorporates a multi-angle steel U-bracket system with threaded side knobs, allowing secure positioning and quick angle adjustments in demanding vehicle environments.

Important Safety & Mounting Precautions:
- Secure Mounting: Ensure brackets are firmly anchored to a solid structural surface using suitable hardware. In the event of a collision, sudden braking, or off-road driving, unsecured speakers can become dangerous projectiles.
- Care When Drilling & Screwing: Always inspect behind dashboards, kick panels, or bulkheads before drilling holes or driving fasteners. Ensure you do not puncture electrical wiring harnesses, fuel lines, brake lines, or structural components.
- Avoid Obstructions: Position enclosures so they do not obstruct driver sightlines, pedal travel, steering operation, gear levers, handbrakes, or glove box openings.
- Occupant Clearance: Mount speakers clear of head-impact zones and airbag deployment pathways.
- Note: For internal / inside use only, the speakers are not weather or water resistant.
