Title: READ THIS FOR INFORMATION
Review: This is the second of these I have bought; one in my truck, the other in the wife’s truck.Quality is evident as soon as you get it out of the box.It sounds just as good as it looks.Like others have stated, COBRA could have taken a few seconds to include a written set of instructions; had I not have read some of these reviews that explained what goes where, I might still be in the dark.The BLACK double-wire with the 90* plug goes in the “EXT.SPEAKER” port on the rear of the C.B.The RED single wire goes in the “P.A.” port right beside the “EXT” port.However, wiring thus dis-ables any ability to use a P.A. speaker.I have and use P.A. speakers quite frequently.I can holler at someone to “close that gate” or “move that tractor” or whatever, without having to poke my head out the window and holler like a redneck.So, I wired the P.A. speaker and the RED talk-back wire through a DPDT toggle-switch in a bracket attached to my over-head C.B.The RED wire is connected to the -(neg) portion of the plug; the extreme tip of the plug is not connected to anything at all.So, I had to determine which of the two P.A. wires had the same connection.The two P.A. wires going to the plug in the P.A. port on the back of the radio got connected to the CENTER terminals of the DPDT switch.The two wires going to the P.A. speaker got connected to the matching terminals on one end of the switch.The single RED wire, with it’s plug clipped off, got connected to the appropriate terminal on the opposite end of the switch.Flip the switch one way yields P.A. speaker; flip it the other way yields talk-back function in the external C.B. speaker.Honestly, I have puzzled over just how it is possible to acheive the talk-back function by merely connecting a single wire to one side of the P.A. system.That single RED wire shows electrical continuity through to the same portion of the “EXT” plug when the speaker is not connected to anything.Although I cannot fathom just how it is electrically possible, the talk-back feature does work.Of course, one can simply tie the RED wire aside and not use the talk-back feature; the funny thing is that the same identical speaker minus the talk-back is a couple dollars more expensive.As for mounting the speaker, any driver with good sense is going to mount the speaker to the cab roof or top rear corner of the cab, right next to his head and close to his ear.Thus, with the stereo playing loudly, tires a sangin’, Cummins a throbbin’, and a million vibrations resonating through the sheet-metal, he can hear when someone tries to reach him on the C.B.Mounted anywhere else and the reason for even owning an external speaker is defeated.That being said, COBRA was plenty stingy with the length of the wires and they just barely reach to the back of the radio; I would have liked to have seen at least another foot of wire; I got it to work, but I thought I was going to have to splice on some more wire.One more minor gripe; the sexy-looking plastic bracket with two possible mounting situations, looks good in theory, but is not the best choice in actual practice.I found that, with the bracket attached to the cab roof, the speaker would not clear the head-liner when using the “close” orientation; the longer orientation put the speaker too far out and liable to whack me in the head.That being said, I altered the bracket, re-drilled some holes, made some shims, and got it to work in my chosen location.I would much rather see a generous metal strap bracket that I could custom bend to contour, custom drill, and then saw off any excess.Had I to do it over, I would just vise-bend a simple steel bracket and toss the fancy plastic bracket.With all that said, this speaker is LOUD and CLEAR.It will get your attention when someone is trying to get your attention.I wish I had of had these years ago; they are way ahead of all the many others I have used.

Title: Very good sounding external speaker
Review: By far the clearest external speaker I’ve used. The only thing I can nit pick is that the noise canceling is not very strong, but over all very happy with it!

Title: Nice. Does the job.
Review: I’m using a mobile transceiver with bottom mount speaker as a base unit. That won’t do. Was worried the speaker may emphasize too much bass, but no, good midrange- and that’s what you need to hear. Would buy again. It’s a nice looking speaker too. Rather a bargain.

Title: Kinda bulky, but amazing quality
Review: Sounds amazing noise cancel is great. This thing is pretty big though it’s difficult to find a good spot in my jeep for it especially with the provided cable. I may have to splice in some extra length for better mounting options

Title: Sounds great for AM and Shortwave too
Review: I bought this to use as an external speaker for my Icom IC-R75, and it works great. It’s a big step up over the tiny internal speaker, and costs a fraction of the official external speaker. It requires no power source, just plug it into your radio. The locking stand in the back is sturdy and lets you get the speaker pointed right at you.

Title: It’s a BIG speaker, and it works REALLY well
Review: 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.

Review: Purchased the above speaker for pluggging into my CRT SS-9900 transceiver, and boy it was such an improvement!One of the best extention speakers i’ve ever used, plenty head room for output sound. With the 9900 the speaker volume is not the best, a very decent price for a quality sound.

Review: Great little speaker! I use it to plug my mini guitar amp into and it gives me a nice little sound for what it is. The sound quality of the speaker in general is nice considering it’s ~30$, small and meant for CB radio. Its housing is well built and I think that contributes to the overall sound quality as well.

Review: Great product, I have one for each of my ham radios. The sound quality is far better than the small speakers in the radio and these things look good too. Not much benefit to the noise cancelling for me as I don’t have to deal with ignition noise etc in the shack.
