(BC15) Bearcat 15-Watt External Communications Speaker. Durable Rugged Design, Perfect for Amplifying Uniden Scanners, CB Radios, and Other Communications Receivers, Black

Item was as described, new in the box, and worked exactly as expected. Sound is good and is better than the stock speaker on my cb.

This speaker works great. I mounted my CB in my console which pretty much covers up the speaker on the unit. So I got an external speaker and glad I made this choice.

Excellent radio extension speaker, makes those mobile radios with under speakers 🔊 sound much better with this external speaker. More than able to handle the audio output of cb or mobile Ham transceivers. Recommend.

Replaced a smaller 5W speaker with this one so I could hear with the windows open. It's louder but muddier, and I don't notice a difference with the cancellation turned on.

Works great. Using as an external speaker for my Yaesu FTM-510. Fits discreetly in the center console box on my 2018 Honda CRV. Sounds good, plenty audible even with the console closed. Adds depth to an otherwise tinny stock speaker setup to round out repeater chats in the car. Can't say the button on it does much but it does change the sound shape a small amount. Would definitely buy this again for a mobile ham radio. 73 N2SEC

This is a properly designed speaker for good frequency response and clarity with voice comms. The listing says amplified, i.e. needing a separate power source, which it is NOT (model BC15). It is completely driven by the radio it is plugged in to. Two design flaws: 1) There is no strain relief on the speaker wire as it exits the cabinet. At 15 months of exlusive use in doors as a component of my ham shack, I've already had to de-solder the speaker wires from the PCB so I could cut out the cracked and exposed wiring, right at where the wiring leaves the cabinet. This does not qualify it as 'durable and rugged design' in my book. The fact that the plastic cracked so early on in it's use tells me it's of cheap quality. 2) The mounting bracket screw points are not well placed so that it maintains its center of gravity (if you don't want to permanently mount the bracket to a surface) and the unit will want to fall forward on its face. Yes, the bracket is meant to be mounted, but if you're working out of different rooms in your house the bracket does not serve well for free-standing placement. A small but significant issue. Unlike some speakers with noise reduction it is not simply an increased resistance switch that only dampens the over-all sound output but actually cleans up the sound with a minor volume decrease. Good speaker, just needs some refinements.

I have seen a few posts with people saying they plugged it in to their scanner and the volume is way low. Here is what they are doing wrong. If you are buying this to use on a handheld scanner and plugging it into the earphone jack it will be very, very, very, low volume because an earphone jack DOSE NOT have the power to make the speaker work! A earphone jack only puts out enough power for a set of earbuds!! You need an amplified speaker if you're plugging into an earphone jack. I have a Uniden BCD536HP and when I plug this speaker into the front HEADPHONE jack the sound output is at a whisper at best. BUT on the back of the scanner there is an EXTERNAL SPEAKER jack and when you plug it into something that meant to power a speaker WOW nice and LOUD! The jack in the back puts out 5 watts of power and the headphone jack only puts out 4mW(milliwatt) of power. So here is another way to look at this. It takes 5000 milliwatts to = 5 watts or in my case the 4mW works out to be 0.004 watts and that's why this speaker will not work if you're plugging it into a headphone jack!

I bought two one is hooked up to a Uniden bct15x on the rear external speaker 3.5mm, the volume is loud and clear, build quality on the speakers are really nice doesn't fill like a toy real rugged, accents look nice and match up with radio's the second radio is a rare Uniden bc370crs it doesn't have a dedicated external speaker 3.5mm like the bct15x but has a 3.5mm headphone port so I was iffy if it was gonna work turns out it works pretty good it doesn't have as much volume as the bct15x but its plenty loud for me and my radio setup.

Crisp and clear and worth the money. I would buy it again. Thank you. Fast delivery to.

Exactly what I expected. Clear sound and loud!

Good & Quality speaker
