YEP! I used a speaker (real speaker, not piezo) from one of those musical greeting cards. You know, the kind where when you open it up, it plays music, sounds, etc. Worked really well. Had to use a preamp (minty amp) but it did work.
Take a look at my pics on my page.

Would a old computer speaker work for this? I have like 4 computer speakers siting around, and more speakers to choose from in other places. So, do I just mount this speaker where it can touch the box, as in, face downl, or face up on the lid. Oooooo......I am geting idea's now....I bet I could do a two speaker set up with the small computer speakers, Once facing the lid and the other facing down on the back of the box.....you could make a switch and shut one of, and the other one on, or either or.....man, I could get in trouble with all of this info.... as for as a mini amp, could I just run the speaker in the box by itself and use my pedal to boost the signal?

I would say so, but they would be awfully large. Plus the feedback -- ooooof.
Here's an idea. Use one of those card speakers as the 'mic' and use the other speakers as amp speakers mounted in another CB. Use a preamp/amp circuit to drive it. That way you can use the speakers you have.
Sure you could put the preamp in a pedal, but you might lose signal from the guit to the pedal. The speakers might be low impedance thus may lose signal over distance. I would put the preamp in the box -- it's about 1.5"x1", then run it to an effect pedal or other amp.

I was looking to use a speaker for a pickup for a stompbox! Great to hear you've done it. Any issues or tricks I would need to know about? how and where did you mount it?
Thanks man! Tonight's project is set.
