I am thinking of building a mp3 and wireless set up I found a amp from allpredatorcalls and a 25 watt speaker, Is this going to be way to loud? I hunt mostly open sage customers come from a mile away sometimes closer. I would also like to be able to reach out there and get thier attention maybe pick up some more range than i get with mouth calls. For this kind of country what amp speaker would you all use? thanks in advance /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif
What watt speaker?

more range? you just don't wanna walk as far as we usually have to walk LOL. We are gonna have to take mine and leave the hand calls in the jeep so I'm forced to use nothing but the e-caller.

yotehuntr,
Which amp did you buy? A good amplifier like those from Minaska will power up your 25 watt speaker just fine.

K and would some one explain what the U - ohms has to do with it.
---------------------------------------------------------- a 4U-7w amp needs a (what U what W) speaker to be as loud as it will go.
--------------------------------------------------------- how does the 4U-7w amp gets 2amp to a 8U-10w speaker ,dang this is confusing,
----------------------------------------------------------- a 150 watt- 8 ohm 108db speaker needs what amplifyer to get full volume ???????? and would a 4u-7w amp work for this speaker
------------------------------------------------------------

Let's see if I can remember how all this works.....
Others more knowledgable can make corrections.....
"u" = ohms.
(Actually it's the greek letter "mu".)
Ohms is the internal resistance of your speaker to the flow of electicity. If you double the ohms, you'll need twice the wattage to drive the speaker.
"w" = watts.
Watts is the amount of power your speaker is able to handle; or your amplifier is able to deliver at a given resistance (in ohms). Deliver more watts to your speaker than it's rated to handle and you'll get anything from distortion (other than that caused by the amplifier) to actually blowing the speaker.
Stereo amplifiers are rated for distortion at their maximum power output. High end equipment has distortion levels that are, for all practical purposes, imperceptable. Low end equipment, such as the amplifiers attached to an MP3 player, have high distortion levels. MP3 players sound is clear and clean in it's initial reproduction; it's distorted in the amplifying stage.
An amplifier rated at 4 ohms/7 watts would actually only be able to deliver 3 1/2 watts into a speaker rated at 8 ohms resistance.
In your example..... My Bose speakers for my home stereo system are 150 watt/8 ohms; I drive them with a 100 watt/8 ohm per channel Onkyo amplifier. Anything much above 1/3 volume and I'll have my upstairs neighbors pounding the floors! A 4u/7w amplifier would barely deliver sufficient power to drive the speakers enough that they could be heard.
I know what I'm trying to say..... I only hope that I'm saying it in an understandable manner.....

-----------------------------------------------------------thank you me - from what i have read this the way i understand it works to. so why is everyone using 8u10w speakers on their e-callers? with a amp that is pushing 3 1/2watt, I am just curious. it just seems like the speaker is loafing . why not a 8u 5w speaker , wouldnt it viberate more or a 4u 8w speaker even better ? is it that a 4u/7w amp will last longer on the 8u/10w speaker and wont get hot ? geeeeeeeee i dont know, thats why I am asking .

I'm kinda with you here, Crossxsticks.....
I've never really looked into building my own caller that much so I don't have any idea what these amplifiers are capable of producing... I don't even know the output of the amplifier on my JS612; I seem to remember that I saw somewhere that the speaker is rated for 15 watts......
I have been tossing around in my head building one of the coffee mug callers for use in semi-rural areas. You know, the Preymaster/Nady combination..... Some day, I just may do it!
