[QUOTE="Guest, post: 84913"] When using correctly wired speaker's for the GPX4500/5000 they will have a stereo plug but with only 2 wires attached (main to tip & shield to ring - nothing to sleeve). The battery recognises this configuration & trips the inbuilt amp. I have heard of issues with some external speaker's not being wired correctly so don't trip the amp thus they don't get the required power to operate correctly. When you use a booster the batteries internal amplifier will be bypassed. With a rooster booster there is no connection into the headphone socket to trip the amp & others like the B&Z have a mono plug so it is the only operating amp I.e. you can't run both & even if you did the sound would most likely be distorted. The aftermarket boosters are thought to be better than the batteries inbuilt one & having used 4 different types I tend to agree but others are quite happy with the battery amp. [/QUOTE]
