Can anyone suggest a good sounding external speaker? I am looking for one that has similar sound qualities to a Motorola - without the motorola price tag!
I have looked into the Uniden and Cobra speakers out there, as well as the Texas Ranger ones... Very nice in appearance, but how do they sound?
I would need two of them , one for my scanner and the other for my Magnum 257...
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? |

Hey 747
I have Texas Ranger, I have used it on my Ranger 2950 and Galaxy 2517 best speaker I ever had. Very clear and crisp.Worth the money to me.Works good on scanner too. |

747, if you are talking speaker for your base, why not try some stereo or mono speakers from stereo stores.

I use a twin set of Para Dynamics. They have a nice rich sound and I'm told that Para Dynamics are what Motorola used to be.You can also find the same speaker with a different name called the PROnouncer at truck stops. |

I use the Uniden ext. speaker in the mobile and it works very well. I tried the little 2" X 2" X 3" (+/-) ext. speakers from the Shack, and they sounded pretty bad with the CB. I hooked them up to the ham radio and they sound pretty good. So those might work for the scanner. For the base I have an old 6" oval car stereo speaker that works great. $0.50 at a garage sale. |

Uniden for the mobile,does a good job.Hollowpoint445 I agree on the big speaker! I use a Bose501 with the Cobra 142 on the base setup and it works great. |
