Linda,
I have the same radio in the shack since 2009 and have taken it ontrips in 
the car.  I bought a set of headphones to use in the car.  I used them a 
couple of times just because the wife was listening to the car radio.  Now 
that she has her license, KD0YEY,,  and she has a TMV-71, in the car the 
headphones are for use with the hf radio in the shack.  We have never 
thought of using an external speaker.  In the shack the radio is mounted 
with the mobile mount to the bottom of a shelf.  In the car it is mounted to 
a verticle board with the speaker facing to my knee.  So anyway we hear it 
ok for our use for now..  My opinion, don't waste the money, put it to 
something else.
