External Speaker Questions

Q. If I connect a high-watt speaker to my unit will it play louder?
Q. If a speaker has a high-watt rating, does that make it better?
Q. Will connecting a large speaker to my unit have negative effects on my batteries?
A. Not necessarily. Connecting a physically larger speaker or one that can handle more power (watts) does not guarantee louder volume. This is a huge misconception with speakers. In order to obtain louder volume from an external speaker it must be more efficient than the internal speaker.

The SP108Z will make your FOXPRO game call louder while the smaller 5" external will not. You can learn more about our line of external speakers later in the FAQ's.

If you are using an external speaker with an impedance of 8 ohms you will get the same battery life. If you were to turn off the two internal speakers on an FX5 and just use an external speaker while running an SP108Z, your battery life will increase because you are drawing less current from the battery when only using one speaker. It is recommended that you shut off your internal speakers when using a large external speaker as they will not be as beneficial to you as the large external speaker. They will be nothing more than a detriment to your battery life.

Q. You have many types of external speakers, what are the differences between them?

A. SP-5" - This is our smallest external speaker. The SP-5" is not intended to increase the volume of the unit. It is, however, intended for folks who have non-remote FOXPRO game calls such as the 38 or ZR2 and are looking to get the sound farther away from them.

SP-55 - The SP-55 is larger than the SP-5", but it is still relatively small. It is able to increase your volume while providing a very portable and lightweight housing. This speaker does not increase your volume as much as the large speakers and it does not offer quite as wide of a frequency response range. It is great for those who need to increase their loudness without compromising portability.

SP-108Z - The SP108Z is our deluxe loudspeaker. This is speaker is designed to work with all FOXPRO game calls except the Snow-Crow-Pro (both SC3 and SC5 versions) which require the SP108SC. This speaker is very large and can work to increase your loudness quite substantially. It is a bit more cumbersome to carry around, but for those who need that loud, intense sound; this is the speaker to use.

SP-FR1 - The SP-FR1 is a fairly large speaker, but it is not as bulky as the SP-108Z. The SP-FR1 is our full-range speaker. It features a cone for the main driver and has a built-in Mylar tweeter which work together to provide you with a very broad frequency response range. This speaker is great for sounds that may require lower tones such as African lions. It is also great for sounds that require higher tones. While it may not be as loud as the SP-108Z, the frequency response range is unmatched.
