[QUOTE="PhaseTech, post: 287954, member: 3149"] On a gpx (4500 or later) with a proper gme (or clone) speaker the internal amp has plenty of volume in my opinion. Its only when running dual speakers that you have to really drive things, so the internal amp could do with some help. Remember that an external amp can only amplify whatever audio the detector is already producing and it will amplify everything the same. By everything I mean threshold, and signals. The issue on external amps when using headphones is that they can "colour" the sound either through noise, distortion or simply just changing the sound. Some users actually prefer the "coloured" sound which is why certain people swear by a particular brand. Usually it's the combination of detector audio settings, headphone choice and amp all combined that the user likes the sound of. I like the audio as clear and crisp as possible so have always promoted the notion of: the first and most important accessory to get for your detector is a quality set of headphones.....unless you can't stand the things haha [/QUOTE]
