works fine

I have one and like it a lot.
I can't believe someone with an EXTRA call sign would ask a question about 4ohm vs 8ohm impedance match.

Impedance

Is there a problem that these speakers have have 4 ohm impedance and the rigs call for 8 ohm? I just got 2 and want to make sure I don't harm the audio out on my d710?

Very Good Speaker
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|
About 2 years ago I bought an Icom IC-756PROIII for my shack. It works very well but I needed a speaker for it. The matching speakers cost too much money. At a Hamfest I pickup the Kenwood KES-5 from two-way dealer for $15.00. All I can say is WOW! 1st, no RF feedback in the speaker even at a KW. 2nd the color, black, matched my PROIII, and 3rd it sounded very good. A real pleasure to listen to. It is a heavy speaker, about 3 pounds, which means it can handle a lot of power. So at the PROIII audio level there is no distortion.
I would recommend this speaker to who doesn't have to have a matching speaker and wants good communications audio.

Best Speaker I've Every Owned
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|
|
I have had just about every mobile speaker that has been out on the market in recent years, everything from Radio Shack (both amplified and non-amplified), Motorola, ICOM, etc. and the Kenwood KES-5 has been the absolute best overall for mobile use. I am currently using it along with my ICOM IC-2820H mobile for D-Star use. I have purchased several of these and am keeping them in the boxes until I need them as HRO no longer carries this in stock. The only downside, and it's not really a downside for some is that you must install you're own connector for whatever radio you're using.

You won't regret buying this one! In fact, buy two while you're at it!

Amazing Quality
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months

I have owned all kinds of external speakers in my day. This is by far the best. I was at Lentini Communications the other day and was looking to by a new speaker for my FT-8800 and Alex sudgested this one,as soon as I picked up the box I could tell this was a quality product.The speaker weighs almost three pounds. It's made of quality ABS plastic and comes with a fully adjustable metal mounting bracket complete with all the hardware. I have this mounted on my rear deck of my sedan and have plenty of audio to spare, this speaker blows away everything. I was so impressed I bought another one for my 706mkg.
