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

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.

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.

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!

It works fine in my mack truck.

Jist as discribed, wirks well with my ham radio and my mini desltop also.

Yes it is clear an loud

The speaker does not work well for us their best speaker is there amplified one do not buy the BC 15 trust me you want bc23a The amplified one is a five star loud it works awesome Trust me this is the speaker you want to get Uniden Communications Speaker (BC23A this is their best and loudest it is a good speaker http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009TNAGDA?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER The BC 23 A is a five star speaker don't be confused by buying the wrong one like we did that is non powered, we bought the BC 15 also the BC 15 does not have a volume knob on it . Yes the BC 23 A has a volume knob on it as well as the noise reducer thing *****5 star rating 100% bc23a Update the speaker has been wonderful no problems with it and being that it is amplified power it is very adjustable with the volume of the radio. This is one of the better speakers compared to the other ones by 100% . If you need it to be loud there's no comparison to the other speakers this one with the amp built-in is the way to go all around Bc23a The powered amp speaker five star rating on the speaker

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.

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
