Which RetroSound Accessories should I choose?
For styling, the three radio faces (B1, C1, IVO1) all fit current RetroSound Radio Motors but differ in colour. Knob sets come in five references with front knobs in black, ivory or chrome. Faceplates split into the 308-series (chrome with pebbled or pinstripe inserts for classic Porsche) and the 502-series (black and chrome for standard DIN openings); some variants bundle knob sets and brackets.
For power, the Quadraphonic handles four speakers at 45W RMS each; the Technophonic adds a 225W RMS subwoofer channel for a complete system. The SUB8100 can run from either amplifier or standalone via its own 100W RMS built-in amp. For 6V negative-earth vehicles, the 6-12 Volt Converter delivers steady 12V DC at up to 10A with no rewiring required.

Q: What is included with the SUB8100 subwoofer?
A: The SUB8100 includes a wiring kit and a bass remote alongside the subwoofer itself — an 8-inch unit with a built-in 100W RMS Class D amplifier in a 70mm low-profile cast aluminium enclosure.
Q: Can CEN fit RetroSound amplifiers and subwoofers at their Nottingham workshop?
A: Yes — CEN has its own fitting workshop in Beeston, Nottingham, where RetroSound amplifiers, subwoofers and accessories can be professionally installed into classic cars and trucks.
Q: Does the 6-12 Volt Converter require me to rewire my classic car?
A: No — it accepts a 5.5 to 7.5V DC negative-earth input and outputs a steady 12V DC at up to 10A, so you can run a 12V radio without altering the vehicle's original electrical system.
