"letting the sound out" of an Atlas Trainman GP38-2

I love my atlas locomotive, it is such a smooth runner and has modest detail which makes handling much easier! Installing a Railpro LM-3 appears straightforward in this locomotive. I have found example installs and all show installing the speaker over the rear truck. Since the fans are solid, the installers are boring a hole through the rear weight to provide sound access out through the bottom of the loco. See photos 6 and 7 in the link below.

Are there any specifics I need to know relative to boring through the rear weight? I am wondering if sound quality varies depending on the shape and dimensions of the hole? I am leaning toward a single rectangular cube speaker. A larger speaker may also fit. Thanks for any assistance!

There should be no problems boring through the weight that I can see. After seeing this post I think I might add some modules to my Atlas GP39-2s
