Great idea! Thanks! I went to RadioShack right after I saw your vid. Just put it all together and gave the horn a camo job. I cant believe how loud this thing is! Cant wait to try it out in the field. Thanks again, for the how to and for saving me a ton of money!

[@TheMrWahnsinn]

That is pretty amazing, saw this just in time for the next hunting season, thanks!

[@jcb0249]

Varmint Al strikes again.

[@andrewmishler1897]

Ok... I got all the parts, and hooked everything up... But it's not loud at all.... It's barely louder than the iPod speaker. Any suggestions where I went wrong?

[@orignalbuckaroo]

The mini amplifier is simply not available anymore at radioshack or is out of stock across usa !! Anyone as a suggestion?? TNX

[@bigal25938]

I have a fox pro wildfire and don’t like it. Selectors don’t work quick enough and sometimes have to select them several times to get them to work. The adult rabbit distress has an audible chirp/click at the end of each sequence.

[@bbs1124]

I just did mine like this, and realistically (with a soldering iron, solder, heat shrink, etc.) I'm up to about $75 not including spray paint, case, and 3.5 mm extension

[@andrewmishler1897]

Figured out what problem was.... Mini amp was already broke. Radio shack replaced it no questions asked... Hooked it all up... MONEY!!!! To avoid soldering I got the mono plug that has wire coming out to a split.... I'm so pumped to go out and work it!!! Thanks so much for posting video!!!!!

[@MinimalistMotoLife]

Awesome, exactly what I was thinking would work. the question is do I still have a inline 3.5mm amp laying around.....

[@andrewmishler1897]

I got your exact setup today except for mono plug. I got a 6ft mono male to stripped end so I didn't have to soder (sp?) part # 4202434 thanks for the video! Can't wait to get mine up and going!

[@jacopchristensen7229]

How do you wire up the mono plug and the speaker? I have tried multiple ways and it won't send any sound through the speaker.

[@PaulOgie]

ME TOO, and it's starting to piss me off. I call it the El Crapo because out of the three speakers I tried only one of them work, and it sounds like crap O.

[@paulettedarow529]

i have two of the two watt radio shack power horn with the detachable microphone; i put the battery in them and i turn it on and talk and they don't work! i need help; ~_~

[@APACHE529CREWCHIEF]

Good idea but what makes a foxpro worth it is the quality of their call sounds

[@The3DPrintingWarrant]

great ideal! o you think a car alarm speaker would work?

[@bigal25938]

Forty years ago we hooked a speaker to a cassette player and had a great crow caller.

[@The3DPrintingWarrant]

They still have them. I just picked one up today.

[@eagleviewhd]

I have called in three coyotes in three days with nothing more than an app on my cell phone and a bluetooth speaker. Today I set my speaker in the fork of a small tree and sat down about 30 feet away. Within about fifteen minutes a coyote ran up to the tree and circled around it looking for the rabbit.

[@quinntonb1626]

I been wondering if this worked!

[@BigIronBreaks]

I find that I like to call them in with a hand call, when I see one its nice to let this play and they are distracted away from me. Thanks for watching, and good luck!

[@artifactman660]

this is pretty cool but who wants to drag around a bunch of wire? I will stick with my western river. however I may rig up a louder speaker like the one you show in the video to it.

[@chadashton7029]

A person that wants to save a bunch of money...that's who.

[@starlingroy]

What is the item number for the mini amp ? I want to but one online.

[@orignalbuckaroo]

This is great !!! I'm going to RadioShack tomorow and building one for sure!! What is neet about it, I can record my own sound and have it in my MP3 !! TNX so much @+++++

[@wayne10161967]

You can get 100 ft rolls of speaker wire for less then $ 7. You don't need heavy gauge amp wire. Still can't find the link for the calls though

[@MrBoygenis]

varmintal , dumbass scant spell

[@gbett22]

Another idea is to get 2 smaller speakers and use them mounted on a board to create unidirectional sounds. That's what I am doing.

[@Tobette1121]

Great video. I have mine in the works you gave me a good start. But what about using a car alarm so you can have your caller on a remote. Go to a pick your part and get one for cheap.

[@dcm44]

Which speaker wire (positive or negative) goes to which terminal on the 3.5mm mono plug (long or short terminal)? Thanks

[@jonindenver]

Nice, thanks! I'm going to put one together for calling coyotes and snow geese. For $2.99 I got a hunting calls ap for the iPhone with 100 prerecorded calls.

[@BigIronBreaks]

That is a great Idea! Something I had not thought of at the time

[@orignalbuckaroo]

Many TNX Bigred...Yep, I just found some too.....Great !! They are back in stores...

[@starlingroy]

How many watt is the speaker?

[@josievelarde5467]

Will it work in the cell phone jack?

[@MrTomsontsc]

Has anyone one had high success with these???

[@apnaus]

how many hours does it go ?

[@shoot2hunt669]

How would you make a remote control for the iPod

[@austingarcia4521]

What I did was my phone is my remote and I have a blue tooth stick attached as the aux cord to make it wire less

[@barryelitchfield]

order it on line at radio shack dot com

[@MrTomsontsc]

I bought the stuff at radio shack

[@brockkt51]

What is the battery life

[@benwicker5820]

[@officer103]

[@brendanbeasley8172]

[@rudolph8221]

[@kumarkumar5022]

[@Itsbigzev]

[@brandonswanson4078]
