[Icom] Seeking better audio from my IC-746

Hi,
If you go to a mobile stereo shop, finished  cab with sub in it can be 
had. May cost even less
than home brew. I can see 8 in. one with several diferent kind of cab 
design. I am not much of a
speaker user. I use David Clark headset most of the time. Old habit 
coming from army days.
(I was a signal man in 105mm  field artillery unit)
