Yep.

For a good speaker seek out the RadioShack Minimus 7. It's a
waterproof exterior speaker in an aluminum box. Works well
on my friends CB.

As for cutting into a speaker, that's tricky. It requires you
keep the load balanced for the radio (some may do fine with
missing loads but it causes grief on some amplifier circuits)

Too bad you weren't asking about a system for your bike.
This one is slick. http://www.autocom.co.uk/

A diy version. http://www.ldrider.ca/techpages/audiooverridebox.htm

Might be a starting point.

Me, I'd go with a separate speaker and possibly a mute
for the stereo (some aftermarket and OEM have a "cellular" line
that you ground to make the radio mute)
