I put the 4 inch 8 ohm Radio Shack speaker in mine and it sounds pretty loud.
It gives a little better bass responce and generally better sound all around.
I mounted it to the place where the long-card brackets are so it would be
facing outwards.  This seemed to be a good place because the holes already
matched up with holes already there.  Good Luck!
