Just order the GGA and put the connector on them. If i can do it anyone can. Cliff walked me thru it and Joe has vedios i believe. Soldering is the only thing difficult. For some dumb reason the connector has 6 pins and ML used two pins right together instead of on opposit sides. IF you intend on using them on a CTX and a Xcal im told its a three wire connection instead of two. One is soldered by its self ........ the other two are on separate pins by can be soldered together at the pins. Im not sure where i ordered the CTX connectors, maybe Joe or someone has the site.

Make sure you seal the wires where they are inside the connector as well to help with waterproofing. Aquasure is good for that.

A friend of mines bought a pair of GGA for his infinium and was not pleased with them so I made a trade with him and gave him a used pair of underwater Garrett headphones... I had modified some Garrett headphones for the CTX and have been using them on dives to about 12". They are definitely louder than the GGU headphones that I was really disappointed with... So, I took the GGA and just as I suspected, there was no chip/coil built into the headphones so there was barely any audio at all even with the CTX volume at 30 and the volume control all the way up at 10 on the GGA I could barely hear a whisper.... I disconnected the volume control and inserted the chip/coil and it is definatly louder than the GGU and I would say that it is maybe a tad bit louder than my modified Garrett headphones. I still need to test them out in the water but I notice that there is no muffling like the with the GGU, the GGA is much more loud, clear and crisp sounding than the GGU for sure... I just can't see hunters buying a pair of GGU and GGA just to install the chip/coil in the GGA or the easier solution would be to remove the GGA speakers and install them on the GGU... I was lucky to have all of these headphones available to experiment with...
