One Speaker, Or TWO?

[jcELK]

Just wondering how everybody runs there call. I used to always just run one speaker on my call. Now I've started using the front and back speakers. What are you guys doing?

[Weasel]

I run just the front 99% of the time.

[JMAC]

front all the time, but here in Illinois I done need the sound to carry like out west.

Two is better than one, including two decoys as well.

Good question. I use the front speaker and shut the rear off, and use a 15 watt speaker instead.

Why do they have two if you only use one? I have only a spitfire, so I dont know any different.

I learned that my battery life is much greater when I only use the front speaker on the Firestorm so I quit using the rear speaker. It is for lower frequency sounds like bear grows and really not needed for yotes from what I have read. I do enjoy having my batteries last 8 hours rather than 3 or 4.

As you can see in the above picture I use the front speaker and the Foxpro SP-55 external speaker with the rear speaker on my caller shut off. In this picture my FX5 is pointing down into a huge canyon and the SP-55 speaker is pointed up into the same huge canyon.

I use the SP-55 external speaker on every stand. I really like being able to point two speakers in the directions I choose to point them. On many calling stands there will be two directions you want your sounds to go to, like calling off of a ridge top. With two speakers that you can point in any direction you want you don't have to point one speaker and hope both directions get your sounds.
