Tim,
Installment of speaker on the front of EC1 is a great idea !
This is, however very difficult job if you expect to have a nice looking
face of enclosure.
There is several methods to make a speaker grill, but I prefer to make a
hole which diameter is smaller than a speaker diameter by approx. quater of
an inch. Then you have to find a piece of black metal net like in popular
audio devices.
Glue appropriate piece of net inside of front panel. Then glue a speaker.
This is one of acceptable look in my opinion.
There is another option if such a part is available in US. This is car
freshener which looks like small speaker.
I cut the top of it and glued over the speaker hole. This looks really nice.
You can even put your callsign in the flat part of the cover. If you wish to
see the details take a look at my website www.qsl.net/sp5ddj in the
"forty-oner" section.
Good luck !
