E-caller volume and clarity?

I built my own e-caller for calling coyotes. It is made from my iPhone 5, 9v speaker amp, speaker wire, and a horn speaker. I hooked it all up and it's not very loud at all and the sounds are distorted. What could be wrong? All parts are new from RadioShack

Thats cleaver, maybe the distorted sound will work keep trying

You need to match the IPhone output impedance with the amp's input impedance, and, be sure the speaker impedance matches the amps output.

Your IPhone is probably 600ohms, the speaker is probably 8ohms, and the amp is probably not a 600ohm input with an 8ohm output.

A 9v battery powered amp is not gonna be very loud. Especially outdoors where sound waves are typically cut in half every 30 feet.

If you are not careful - you could damge your IPhones speaker output circuits.
