hopefully this is allowed here...
I am looking for a JDI JD-SB1 marine rated (white) extention speaker.... this unit seems to be much more common overseas than it is here.
it was originally built in taiwan, but I cannot seem to contact them so I assume they are out of business, yet the speaker may be being manufactured by someone else.
what is unique about it is that it is a marine rated, waterproof unit that has a volume knob on the speaker itself, so it can be remote mounted, yet be adjusted by the person at the listening end, rather than by the person at the radio....
or maybe there are enough bad reviews that will steer me away from these units...
In my particular case, my radio is mounted under the side deck at my chart table and I can change the channels from my microphone buttons, but there is no provision for adjusting the volume from the mic... so my helm speaker gets annoying at times. I could mount an on/off switch in line to the speaker, but this is not the solution im looking for. (there are a number of bridges in our area that need to be opened, and everyone of the operators seem to have a different power output on their radio, so one will blast us while another cant be heard without cranking up the volume)
maybe someone here is the states can point me to more common unit, but I have looked pretty hard and can not find a marine rated extension speaker with a volume control on the speaker itself.... and neither can I find a waterproof, marine rated volume control switch that is small enough so that I could mount it within a common speaker housing.... thanks for any thoughts and ideas
