The few valid WWW hits align it with スピーカー and usually advertise loudspeakers. I guess we're probably better off without them. Could be "sK" forms for スピーカー, but I don't want to go there.

Not used in Japanese outside of bot-translated shop listings (from Chinese)

The 2008 submission (by a translator) came with the comment:
The number of Google hits is small, which indicates that this term is not widely used (most Japanese appear to use スパーカー), but i think it is worth adding it to the database for three reasons: the term is used in non-frivolous ways, it is used to distinguish the type of speaker - it is not a 拡声機 but a speaker used for music, and it is not something derived out of thin air but looks like an import from Chinese (which i think makes it as legitimate as the related import from English).
I think it can stay.

This isn't in my refs. Barely any online results. I don't think it's needed.
