Garrett ProPointer speaker volume mod...

[Charles (Sabre)(Tx)]

Probably voided my warranty but I thought I needed to tone down the speaker a little.

I plugged the two speaker slits with some small rubber strips and painted them over with a dash of flourescent green paint. Now I have good vibration with about half the volume.

Here's a pic. Sorry about the pic quality...I still haven't quite gotten down how to operate my digital camera.

Charles, good job of Mcgivering. Question - were the strips glued in? Mine's being shipped now, and am thinking of doing something similar, thanks for the tip.

Slap a pice of tape over the holes. I used yellow elecrical tape. Keeps the water out and tamed it enough that it's not offensive.

Thanks for the kudos. No...the strips were a bit oversized to make them secure when they were pushed into the speaker slits. The green paint then sealed the outer side. This way...if I ever wanted to remove the strips I can just pry them out.

I put a piece of black electrical tape over the speaker hole and it works great and doesn't look funky.

The mod that I would really like is an independent power switch for the LED light

If you haven't done so, you need to read "the penny trick" It's over on metal detecting forum at apologies offered, page one. It's awesome.

Stop worrying about the pin pointer & read the camera manual.

The camera manual? Hey, I just read a manual about '53 Studebaker Land Cruisers. Does that count?
