ProPointer speaker cover 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.

Piece of electrical tape works too

I thought of that but thought maybe I could keep water from getting in the speaker holes a little better when I rinse her off under the sink.

what about useing plumbers putty? water resistant and will stick too it i pinpoint with vibrate only so maybe it would work?

Plumber's putty would probably work fine...certainly would seal the water out better. I just used some things I had handy while I was sitting around waiting for my knee surgery to mend. One thing's for certain, it did cut the volume in half and you notice the vibration a whole lot more. Maybe because the speaker vibration adds to the regular vibration circuitry?

I just hope it doesn't damage anything...I don't think it will...I don't see how it could.

Another reason I used rubber strips is that they can be removed easily if I ever wanted to.

I have to give Garrett credit for building a tough pinpointer though. It's solid.

another thing why can we order it with the speaker disconnected anyway wouldnt that solve all issues for people that dont want the speaker ??

 

[Charles (Sabre)(Tx)]

They might do that...if you specifically request it. I don't know how Garrett produces these. I've personally seen their assembly shop a few years back. Looks like they could do it for you.

Hey whatever works. I doubt that youvoided your warranty. Lot of users plug the speaker. When I field tested the prototype I told Garrett that screeching had to go but they listened not.
