Help with HSN4000A External Speaker modification

[qc91]

Hi, I wanted to see if I can modify an HSN4000A External Speaker to work with my Uniden Bearcat BCD536HP? here are the specs for the BCD536HP Audio Output

Here is link for the BCD536HP https://www.uniden.com/scanner/id-BCD53 ... with_Wi-Fi

Audio Output Power: Internal Speaker - 360mW nominal
(24ohm)


Headphone (L-ch) 4mW nominal

Audio Output Power : 5W Max., 8 ohm Load

1/8-inch (3.5-mm) mini-plug


Earphone Warning
You can use an optional 32Ω stereo headset or earphone with your scanner. Use of an incorrect
earphone or headset might be potentially hazardous to your hearing. The output of the phone jack
is monaural, but you will hear it in both headphones of a stereo headset.
Set the volume to a comfortable audio level coming from the speaker before plugging in the
earphone or headset. Otherwise, you might experience some discomfort or possible hearing
damage if the volume suddenly becomes too loud because of the volume control or squelch
control setting. This might be particularly true of the type of earphone that is placed in the ear
canal

Thanks

Just get the matching plug, [1/8-inch (3.5-mm) mini-plug] & attach it to the speaker wire. Plug it in, & you're ready to go. That's all. GARY

Thanks but it looks like the HSN4000A has 2 wire's and can you confirm that the HSN4000A none amplified doe not need any 12v?

Hi, thanks but there 2 wires is one for power?

SERIOUSLY???

[qc91]

YES it has 2 wires and I know some have power for amplifier which can damage the receiver here is a photo http://www.ebay.com/itm/Motorola-Extern ... 1774512398 and if look at this link the 3.5 mm comes with 3 wires https://www.adafruit.com/products/1700

My question is regarding damaging the receiver to look at this linkhttp://forums.radioreference.com/uniden-tech-support/284238-bcd536hp-external-speaker-connection-considerations-precautions-2.html

No, the Motorola speaker does not external power, and there is no polarity on the Motorola speaker. I don't see why you can't just wire it up like Gary said. I just put an RSN4001 speaker on a Uniden scanner for a tow truck customer of mine and it works great.

Oh goodness. Google must be broken in your part of the internet. The HSN4000 is just an 8 ohm speaker. Go to Radio Shack. Buy the correct plug. Solder it on. Plug it in. Enjoy
