If I might add on other very good speaker choice they are Bendix/King originally King Radio aircraft radios and radar they have a speaker about the same size as the Motorola speaker and mount. Excellent audio and response meant for communications use. I found several new ones recently at a hamfest in boxes for $25 each only bought 2 should have bought more.

No matter what I try, I keep returning to my trusty pair of unpowered Motorola 2 way radio speakers. The Moto guys knew what they were doing when they wrote the specs for those. Just for clarification, I was making an observation, not complaining, about the power transient. Just like with any number of cheap stereo amps I had before I got my good ones, I make it a practice to turn the amp off/down before powering the K3 on or off. Works for me. 73...
