Best external speaker

Save your money with the Yeasu.

Go and get a used speaker from a surround sound system and use that. it is really better.

 

Remove from housing and just hook your speaker wires directly to it no additional mods or filters needed?

 

Don't even need to remove it out of the housing, there are connections in the back of it on most that you push down and insert the wire and good to go. There is also mounting holes for little bolts (most are metric) that you can make a bracket and mount it anywhere. Pretty good when you can find them for a few bucks at garage sales and resale (salvation army) stores.

We've - hams like me - have been using them for years and sound great.

 

Had some old stereo speakers I tried but for some reason, perhaps bad soldering, it didn't work. Thought maybe the speakers needed more push than a cb provides.

Stereo speaks won't work. See the thing I learned a long time ago was the sensitivity of the speaker matters. These surround sound speakers are easy to drive externally, the stereos are not. Actually listening to one right now, it is hooked up to my SP-600 radio with the volume turned down very low listening to the news. Sounds great.

 

old post but yes you can adjust the talk back volume on that speaker. it's a pretty good speaker lmo

 

I just bought the Cobra HG S300 Highgear External Noise-Cancelling Speaker from Amazon for 5 bucks. Do you guys recommend it?

 

Keep it 8 ohms though

 

I’ve had several. And given several more as gifts to fellow drivers who’ve shown me the ropes on a couple of jobs.
