Base ext. speaker

[Av8r1]

Do they make an external speaker for base stations also?


Thanks

Any external speaker should work as long as the radio has an external speaker jack.

I've heard of several guys turning old computer speaker sets into real nice base speakers...

If your running a 1000 gtl or 2000 gtl then they make a special ext speaker for these radioe they look like they are part of the radio

I use a motorola speaker but just about any speaker that sounds good to you in my old house I had a jack I made and used three wooden stereo spkrs

Yeah I'm looking for a good cabinet type speaker. Thought maybe some one made one. But I guess I might have to use a regular old speaker.

West Mountain Radio sells a great pair of speakers for computers and such. It is RF resistant.

best thing to use is a 4- 6 inch speaker in a wooden cabinet. any small stereo spkr will do. i would not recomend a stereo speaker with a tweeter though, too much of the static will be reproduced. i think the plastic and metal cabinet spkrs sound bad compared to a wood cabinet. 209.

That sounds like a good idea 209! I think that's what I'll do. No tweeter...another good idea!


Thanks again.

Check the Ù rating, I think most are 8Ù. Many years ago I used a full range speaker from and old boom box, it was the detachable kind if any of you remember. My old 29ltd was cranked up and give a distinct thump when I keyed. Was actually kind of cool became a trademark of my base. Any full range speaker will work well but like it says in the thread avoid a 2 way with tweeter I have found them static-ey

i just use a mobile speaker...i think the texas ranger speaker is a pretty good one...i'm sure there are better brands, designed for amateur radio use though.
