Hey all

Just wondering if there is any chance of using an alternative speaker on an XTL2500 or must it be the standard Motorola HSN40XXX speaker?

The dilemma I am facing is that I am doing an install into a car with very limited space. The Motorola speaker is too large to fit anywhere suitable without needing to sit well under the dash somewhere.
The local auto parts store sell a generic external UHF radio 8 Ohm speaker which is much smaller in size and would be alot easier to mount.

I'll be honest I'm not too confident with the speaker hence why I'm asking, as I don't want to stuff the audio board on the radio. If need be I'll find somewhere for the original Motorola speaker to mount, but I thought I would ask in the off chance someone may have used an alternative speaker in the past or can guide me on what I need to look for so as to not risk the life of the componentary of the radio.

Cheers
