external speaker

Has anyone made or used an external speaker = boosted or not = made by someone else ... not ML or etc that works good, as if I start spending more money at the mo, the other half (minister of war AND finances) will go off!
so I am looking at other alternatives reasonably priced

You did not say what type of detector you are using, I have two that I used on the GPX4000, but no longer use because I now have a 4500, They both work well on the 4000, one is made by coiltek and uses the power from the 4000 battery, the other is by BZ technologies and needs batteries. The BZ technologies will work on headphones or speaker, but the coiltek one is speaker only, which is part of the amplifier.
If you are intersted make an offer, but neither were cheap and I will not let them go if the offer is not big enough.

sorry ... ML3000 and it came with the standard ear phones,and in this weather ... well .. sweaty ears dont cut it ey ... send me a pm with ya pricing and we will see what transpires ... I have seen the ones on evilbay and was just wondering if any other gurus out there have dollied something up or know what else can be done
Cheers

I bought a 2.4ghz wireless headset from radioshack. Brand is "Auvio". Works splendidly, with zero EMI and zero lag.

cool, whats the model number and how long they last before changing batteries or charging and did the adapter come with them as it has to suit the ML3000

The model number is 33-283 and the battery in the transmitter is permanent and rechargeable. The headset requires 2 AAA batteries. These can be alkaline or rechargeable. You just flip a mini switch inside the battery compartment indicating which type youre using. If you plug the headset into the charging cable with alkaline batteries installed...well...you know.... BOOM!

Auvio model # 33-283. Rechargeable batteries in transmitter and headset. Last about 5-6 hours. 32 ohms.

XCLNT ... thanks

that will take care of the ear muff type .... now need an external speaker for when I`m detecting on my own and in the scrub so the noise wont worry anyone

Mate, If you want max results for minimum price you can't do better than this,

I dont think Id risk using that one, the ohms are too low. (4ohms) Might damage the pre amp circuit of the detector...anyone with more knowledge on this wanna chime in?

Silent Arrow,

This has an amp as well so the 4ohm speakers are not powered by the detector. All u need to do is plug it into the headphone socket. You can also detach the speakers and fit them where you want on your harness. This system works good for the price but nowhere near as well as JP's BZ booster which is a tad more expensive but much better quality.
