Excellent product. Amplified speaker overpowers road noise, tire hum, wind noise, and the stereo in my convertible 2004 Jeep Wrangler. I highly recommend this for anyone with an Escort SR7/ZR3 detector/jammer. Speaker is small enough for hidden mount.

I recently installed the Escort External speaker in my car as an external speaker for the Laser Interceptor unit which is HIGLY recommended if you own a LI unit (Instructions from youtube). While this speaker looks small to the eye, note that its looks are EXTREMELY deceiving. Its loud as hell. I have it setup deep in the passenger footwell but the alert from it is so loud and clear, that you can hear it 50 feet from my car when the car is parked. When I am playing loud music in my car and get an alert, it kinda is heard over powering the music. Thats what I love about it.

You can use this baby as n external speaker for basically anything in your car.
For example if you have an after market navigation (Garmin, TomTom etc), Radar Detectors and the list goes on (All this depends on your knowledge about electronics and minor modifications performed to the unit\speaker)

I dont think its a good choice to use it for a music system but just putting it out there.

Bottom Line: Wonderful external speaker thats LOUD and CLEAR !

I couldn't hear my radar detector if I was cruising with the top down (Nissan 350Z Roadster) and had my music loud enough to hear over the road/wind noise. I bought this speaker hoping it would be loud enough so that if I mounted it just behind my shoulder between the driver and passenger seats, I wouldn't have to worry about missing alerts. I was blown away by how loud this little speaker is. The speaker is small and looks really nice and looks like it came from the factory installed there. I have to turn the volume down for normal day to day driving because it's too loud. This was a perfect and really reasonably priced solution that includes everything you need for a simple installation.

I have used this with my Escort SRX and my new Escort 9500ix. It works beautifully to amplify the ramp up on all detectors and spoken words on the 9500ix very clearly and above my loud music and/or open windows. I have it mounted under my dash panel, and it is still loud and clear (I have the detector set at about half volume, although it goes to almost maximum volume without distorting). The included wire tap makes installation easy. I suggest hard wiring your detector at the same time using the escort hard-wire kit, since most of the cable snaking and wire taping labor can be combined with the install of this speaker. My only complaint is that the fuse holder is cheap and opened itself up (causing the power to turn off), but a little bit of tape over the fuse holder stopped that problem from re-occurring.
