I bought a RetroSound Model 2 not quite three years ago and I've been very happy with it. I initially struggled with some alternator noise, but proper wiring and grounding seems to have solved the problem. The sound quality is good enough for me but I don't claim to be a stereophile. I'm not 100% pleased with the radio reception range, but I can't entirely blame RetroSound for that - I may only be a better antenna away from matching the original 1980 radio.

Oddly enough the one thing that pleases me most about the RetroSound are the period correct knobs I was able to get for it. I've had more than one person do a double take once they realize it is an aftermarket system.
