Most stock / in radio speakers do not direct the sound toward the operator 
but either upward or downward depending on speaker location.  A separate 
speaker directed toward the operator works much better in that one hears 
direct sound as opposed to reflected sound that  is augmented by the 
acoustics of the room.  In today's radios, there is no room on the front 
panel for a decent size speaker location so the top or bottom of the metal 
rattling box is next worst thing.

I agree with a few others on the speaker selection. My stock in the radio 
speaker sounds sad and pinched. But i have a 8 inch Woofer in a box that i 
use for a external speaker and it is much more pleasing to the ears. The 
woofers audio specification range is listed as 38 Hz to 6Khz so it seems 
like a natural selection for the radio. Jeff N3JBH
