If you don't have a lot of money go to a hamfest and pick up a 4 ohm 10 watt speaker about 6 to 8" diameter. Build or buy a cabinet; put foam baffling material in the back behind the speaker and grill cloth over the front. You can get grill cloth at a piece goods/hobby/sewing store. If you don't have time to make one you can get the phono wire and plug at radio shack and maybe find a ready made speaker in a cabinet at a hamfest. I found a guy selling PA system speakers in cabinets that way and they work fine. If you can't find 4 ohm speakers and want to have a load that matches the Omni's 4 ohm output (this is not critical however) you can always hook up two 8 ohm speakers in parallel with a phono Y connector. Any of these setups will make a huge difference over the p.s. and Omni built in speakers.
