Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this speaker to use it with the Cobra 75WXST Weatherband CB Radio. The speaker on this CB is built into the handpiece, so I thought I'd need the extra volume to account for the small built-in speaker. However, it turned out that the built-in speaker worked fine.
When I received this speaker, the first thing I thought was, I can't believe how big it is. Before I received it I was planning on mounting it up under where the passanger would place their feet in the car (not under/inside the dash, but hanging from under the glove box), but it's just much too big to put there. Because of the size and how well the internal CB speaker worked, I chose not to use it and returned it, but I did test it out prior to returning it. It amplified the volume very well and you were still able to hear clearly at high volumes. However, I really can't imagine using this in a car unless you have a use for it that is not typical, or you're hearing impaired--it's that loud. It's sort of like going deer hunting with a bazooka, it's a tad bit of overkill. I could see possibly using it in the cab of a big rig, where you are exposed to more road noise, but that's really about it. Perhaps off-road vehicles too where you want to hear your radio while you're away from the vehicle.
Also, there is a volume control on the unit that isn't clearly pictured in the photo. In order to use it and have access to the volume control, you'll have to mount it within arms reach, so keep that in mind for your application. Even if it was small enough to fit under my glove box, I couldn't have used it becuase of the volume control location.
