1st: pressed wood not good for amps...go with wood box....2nd: the Artec amp circuit should have a trim pot (small white dial on underside, with a + shaped slot for phillips screwdriver. If you turn to adjust that pot, it will change the tone/gain and give more "crunch". 3rd: might be good idea to look around at your local thrift shop (goodwill, value village, etc.) for used stereo speakers...you need one that fits in box of course, but looking for speakers rated at 8 ohms and from 2-5 watts for best sound.

Try the little Phillips again, turn it clockwise to the stop and you should get more volume and "crunch". Sure worked on mine.

Don't just look for a larger speaker, look for one that is 8 ohms like Scott said.
