Speaker on a GPX5000

[meMiner]

Anybody tried plugging one of the speakers sold on Ebay into Minelab GPX5000? How well did that work? I was thinking it might be OK for times that I want to eliminate the headphones. Thanks in advance.

I use docs gold screamer on mine. Comes with a very loud speaker. Or I can use my headphones. Best part I dont have to wear a battery on my back.

Thanks for the advise. I am thinking I really need to bite the bullet and get a GS. I was wondering if I could cheap out and just get a speaker, which would eliminate at least one cord? The problem being in Canada, is the GS is now fairly expensive, because of the exchange rate plus duty/customs. I "shoulda when I coulda" sooner...

I too use Doc's gold screamer, and it does a great job to boot.

All the best,

I ordered a Gold Screamer, so now I am all set. Just need the nights to warm up and the snow to melt...

I have the Gold Screamer installed and it works great. Should have bought it a long time ago. I can hardly wait to try it out. My dog, Daisy, is now restless, as she thought I was getting ready to go north. She still has to wait a couple of weeks for the trip.
