I've been thinking about getting a pair of Amphibians for my Equinox, but have heard the max volume is not very loud?

I can confirm the grey ghost amphibians are not very loud. I personally use Harolds headphones on my EQ800 with a modified factory minelab equinox 1/4 inch adapter and am very satisfied with the sound quality. I cut off the 1/4 adapter and soldered and heat shrinked harolds headphones to the waterproof 1/8 adapter.

Yep. I second that re the GGA's. Tony Eisenhower put an Equinox connector onto my Amphibians, noted the low volume, and put his drivers into the headset. I got a pair of ML Equinox WP phones as backup and even they are not as loud as the Tony's Frankenphone Amphibians.

First time I wired mine they where quiet switched some wires around and they are loud enough for me.
Just make sure you have the wiring right and I think they are fine.

How deep can you find one ounce of lead with it buried in normal soil with very few rocks?

L,C.

With the modified GG headphones shown or with the stock Equinox headphones?
