Headset/Headphone/Intercom system Question
Just picked up a Scala 2 pro system from newenough.com for $160. This thing is awesome, allows my girlfriend and I to talk at conversational levels at 65+ MPH. Only problem I have found is that with a mp3 player plugged into it the volume for the music is far to low to hear. Does anyone have any experience with some kind of booster for the volume that I could put in between. Thanks

i have an in line amp that i picked up from aerostitch that does very well...cant remember what i paid but it was around $60. works really well, even comes with a splitter so you and the passenger can use but you have to buy the longer cord for the passenger.

Check out the "Boosteroo". It's a small battery powered inline amp.

I have the same unit and the volume for the mp3 hook up sucks. I put some backing behind the speakers to move them as close as possible to my ears and that helped a bit.

I know you did this but just in case, did you turn your Ipod up to its maximum volume? ;)

I used a Boosteroo when I listened to my mp3 player through helmet speakers. I still have one somewhere, PM me if you'd like one cheap and I'll try to find it.

The Boostaroo will do the trick.
