BCD996T External Speaker

[Volfirefighter]

I am planning on mounting my BCD996T in my truck. For external speakers by Uniden, I see 7, 15 and 20 watt. Is there any limit to what wattage speaker the scanner can support?

I have 20 watt Uniden speakers running off of my 996XT's.....at times, especially on the P25 channels, with softer talking dispatchers, it can be a bit low. Get one of the new amplified Uniden speakers, and you won't ave to worry about what the scanner will output, the amp will suppl all the juice. :-)

If you look on Ebay WD9HSY sells Communication Speakers that have been removed from POlice Vehicles various Brands Vertex Motorola Icom Kenwood Standard ETC the cary in color depending on the brand they are all tested and work 100% i Bought a pair of Black Standard that i use on my BCD996XT and i can turn the volume up where you do not want to Be in the house with the radio on,and it is not amplified and the best part because they are professional they have filters in them the audio is AWESOME and i paid 22 $ even the non amplified Uniden cost more than that and they don't have any Audio filters or RF filters and they look brand new so try Ebay support the Scanner ham community and if your not happy then spend a lot of money on Uniden amplified speakers.

Not all if any professioanl grade speakers have audio filtering in them. Perhap you are thinking of the many amateur radio speakers for hf type radios that have filtering. Most all profession grade radios have filtered audio and better amplification before it leaves the radio and that is why they will always sound supperior to a Uniden scanner. Uniden refuses to filter the audio and use quality amplifiers simply to protect their profit margin.

You can get loud audio from an amplified external speaker on a Uniden scanner but it will sound very tinty with lot of high frequency componets that don't belong, that cheap scanner audio I like to call it. With the addition of some audio filtering the audio can be cleaned up and approach the quality of a professional grade radio.

I have a 996T in my auto with the remote head since the scanner is under the passenger seat I need an external speaker. I find the MOT RSN4001A has plenty of audio. Thie is a non-amplified 13 w speaker, list price $66, often avallable online new for about $40, I bought mine from a MOT dealer new in the box for $24 with the bracket and screws. Sounds fine, needs only a 2 wire cable to the scanner.

Try Searching for communications speakers thats how i found him also he may be out of stock and not have anything listed, that is a possibility also! that would suck heavily but i try to pass on the people and Hams who sell good stuff cheap and help support our community also if anyone needs a Wideband portable scanner antenna and 2/440 Jpole with coax and connector of your choice see N9TAX he makes a real good one i use the dual band Jpole on one of my 996XT's and it will get anything that scanner can hear rock solid crystal clear straight up to 1gig nothing around here beyond that to listen to.Peace
