Dan,
Check the wiring at the external speaker jack carefully.  If you mixed 
up the ground and hot wires at that point, low or no speaker output is 
the result.

To make a quick check to determine if that is the problem, remove the 
top cover from the K2 (leaving the speaker connected) - if the speaker 
volume is OK then but decreases when you mount the top cover, you have 
the ext spkr jack wired incorrectly and are grounding the speaker output.
