That was my original thought, although I couldn't remember the term
"L-pad". Using computer speakers was suggested, and since I had a pair
sitting around, I gave them a try this afternoon. Solved the problem
completely! Now I have _much_ better control of the volume, and the
audio even _sounds_ better than coming out of the mobile speaker I was
using!
Thanks, Jose, and thanks all who responded! Always appreciated!

You just need an attenuator. An L attenuator may be OK, one leg could be
a 10 ohm resistor, and the other leg
your 4 ohms speaker....
If your amplifier does not dislike 14 ohms, it avoids twaking inside the
radio's belly.
