Midland SPK200

Has anyone used this Midland SPK200 external speaker? I need to install something for my MTX575, but can’t find many reviews on it.

I'm using an Icom SP-35 mounted up behind the rear view mirror and its plenty loud and sounds great.

Where do you plan to put the SPK200?

I am not sure yet. Just trying to figure out the functionality, anyone’s experience and if it is worth the cost. The SPK200 does seem large and I would like to keep it tucked away somewhere, so it may not work out.

The icom tucks up nice behind the mirror

Thanks, I had that speaker in my JK. It worked well. I am looking to upgrade.

I’ve been using these speakers and they sound very good and are small, not to mention very inexpensive. I have two hanging from the center roll bar thing in my JT right behind the drivers seat. That really cut down on complaints from the wifee about the radio blaring as the speakers are right next to my ears.

Thank you for the recommendation jav_eee. I went with the Icom SP-35 based on your photo and I didn’t want to take up any space on the dash like I see in a lot of other threads with speakers. The SPK 200 was way too big for this and a lot more expensive. Your recommendation was perfect. This new speaker is a lot louder than the Midland MTX575 mounted under the steering wheel panel. I had a hard time hearing it without the external speaker in this configuration when the windows were down.
