on a cobra 29 chassis i mount mine just behind the channel selector on that side and i drill the holes and using the mounting screws .
you have to measure first and put a mounting knob in the radio for reference.this is most important .if you mount the board first and not check the clearance for the mounting bracket knob ...could be disastrous later .
that said i check the mounting location carefully and mount the board component side up ..facing me..
if your precise with your mounting you can leave the speaker in the radio.
i add electrical tape to one half the inside of the speaker to be safe .
you can close the radio up and look down the crack in the chassis /radio case with a good powered lite and see if anything is touching .

i use the tape and ive done enough to know the "sweet spot"but taping that side of the speaker sure dont hurt .

you could probably get away without doing that part if you mounted the board solder side up inside the radio .but the you must set the board befor you screw it in .

good luck.
