Second question: the sound with the internal speaker is rather bad. I
found a cheap old passive speaker. It sounds much better. The sound in the
headphones is better. I had to use an isolator tape at the front part for
eliminating the echo of the internal speaker. Why is it so quit and
distorted? Is this only me problem?

Hi

Check the wiring to the external speaker connector make sure you didn't 
reverse the hot and ground wires. If that is OK loosen the speaker hardware. 
If it is too tight it will warp the speaker frame. Press on the each side of 
the magnet to see if the sound improves. Sometimes the speaker frame gets 
warped and needs to be bent a little one way or the other so the voice coil 
does not rub on the frame.
