[Elecraft] K3s Internal Speaker

I've made 2 attempts to install a speaker in my new K3s but they bend like
butter and distort. I was very careful to use the fiber washers and to not
over tighten the bolts. The frame of the speaker can bent with 2 fingers!
I've never seen such a flimsy speaker.

I had a brand x speaker in the junk box that worked great but I wanted it
to be original especially since the speaker is necessary to hold down the
sub receiver's shield. The junk speaker worked fine while I awaited a
replacement but the new  replacement did the same. Basically it is junk.
I wonder if they washers they sent are too thin?

I never use the internal speaker anyway but feel like it should at least
work.

Has anyone else noticed this? Otherwise I love the K3s!
