cb radio external speaker comparison

[@CBLounge2112]

Here at the CB Lounge 2112 I am running 2 of the rectangle (1st one) speakers in a mono pair and I love them, they sound just as great with the talkback. I have been running the speakers for about a year and a half with no complaints. Cheers!

I need to try it in the big truck I'm running the bearcat speaker in the peterbilt just because it looks good lol

[@AEZAEZEL-187]

The first speaker definitely is better then the internsl speaker of the CB radio. The second Uniden speaker is a bit louder and also more expensive. The third one sounds a bit tinny! I would go for the first rectangular one that one sounds good enough! If it is a 8 ohm 5 or a 7 watt speaker that is good! Hope this helps you out. 73's!!!

I hear installing a capacitor in the external speaker hot wire reduces the white noise. Older CB speakers from the 70s and 80s had them.

[@yakketyyak954]

A capacitor will cut the bass out of it (your low frequency sounds). That’s the same thing that’s done in car stereo speakers for tweeters. It is a hi-pass filter. You’d have to do some calculations to know what size capacitor to get in terms of uF (microfarads). Radios typically have a bandpass audio range of 300-3000 Hz (the midrange area where a human voice is strongest). I don’t know if that is actually the signal that is passed to the speaker, or if that’s simply the frequency response of the speaker itself. Ideally, to me, I’d want a filter that is variable and would cut everything above and below that. Then I would adjust it according to sound. It would have the effect of reducing the sharpness of the static crackle (treble), and the muddiness of the static fuzz on the bottom end(bass). You’d have to just build one from some parts to get it, a combination of capacitors and inductors. Look up car audio crossovers for more info on that.

The radio itself sounded the best but other than that through the video the first speaker sounded the best

[@yankeetrucker5438]

Yes that the one I'm using

[@marksandquist4275]

i like the first one. what make is it?

[@yankeetrucker5438]

You can get it at any truck stop might be a road king

[@rallypoint1]

Probably a Procomm. I have the same in my mobile and I like it!!

[@wittbit4768]

[@yankeetrucker5438]

Funny thing that is the cheapest speaker out of all of them

Only a waste if you didn’t learn anything. I learned from it.
