They should change the picture. Speaker they sent was a cheap imatation. A real letdown from amazon.
First off you should know that this speaker is a good size. Bought the Cobra HG S300. I have a Jeep Wrangler that never has the top on and usually not the doors. So I bought a little external speaker from Radio Shack that fit in the cup holder (told you it was little) this work fine for off roading and slow speeds but on the highway almost had to hold it to my ear to hear.
Usually have to turn the volume on the CB down a bit because it's too loud. Like I said before it's bigger than you think. Wound up mounting it to the roll bar between the front seats. The Noise Canceling is useless as it attenuates the volume, might be OK in a closed cab but useless to me.And it looks nothing like the picture.If you want a loud speaker so you can hear the CB this is the one you want. And in that position I have NO problem hearing the radio at ANY speed. If you are looking for a little external speaker to make it easier to hear this is not the one.
So hooked it up to see how loud it was, and it was plenty loud sitting on the E-Brake handle but not very stable or practical. If your looking for just a little increase in volume or don't have alot of room this is not the one you want. So when driving down the highway the stock CB speaker was useless. Still needed an upgrade.
I've had it for several months without any issues. Sound is much better, louder, and doesn't distort. Before, a little external speaker would only last about 30 days connected to my HAM radio. I blew through 2 other speakers from my local electronic/radio store before I purchased the Cobra. What a difference.
Amazon really needs to correct the photo on this item. I don't know if I got an earlier version of this speaker or what. The speaker is great, but it looks nothing like the picture included with the item description. There is really nothing about that photo that is even remotely similar.
The sound from the speaker is much clearer and louder than the unit speaker. This item is a perfect compliment to my Cobra CB recently installed in my Hummer H3.
