Yes, and if the speaker does not have an airtight seal between it and the
baffle (the cover on the rig in this case) the mid and lower frequencies
will be highly attenuated.

Andrew,
That is true for the standard speaker, but with the KBT1, the speaker is
changed to a smaller one that has no mounting screws, it just sits with
its magnet settled into the hole in the battery bracket - it needs to
have a foam washer around its magnet to kee3p it from creating "rattlie"
If I remember correctly, the speaker is also very sensitive to distortion
of its metal frame (and therefore cone) if you tighten down the nuts too
much. You may have already tried this but try backing them off and
readjusting them so they're "finger tight" and no more. If things rattle,
tighten dow
Thanks. Glad its not me!

I would not call it "wimpy", but that smaller speaker used with the
battery option is a bit on the "tinny" side.
Refer to the KBT1 instruction manual and check to be sure the speaker
has the little foam ring and that it is inserted properly.
Another point with that internal battery option - I ha
I just purchased this K1 used. I have had others in the past, but this is the
first with the battery option. It seems as though the audio from the speaker
is no where near what I remember on other k1's. Is this common with the
speaker on the case for the battery option?
