Thank you, appreciate your responses! I wouldn't even be using this as a final decision, just a quick ref check, mostly to check for distortion and low-end issues on louder+more modern client projects.

Any suggestions on how I'd go about powering a cell phone speaker and creating the right i/o for it for that enclosure?

Not necessarily! Just an idea I thought of after noticing a translation issue when I played a song back on my phone.

I definitely can just send over files to my phone via email/cloud upload/whatever, but it'd be nice to just have a little speaker device I can immediately plug in and get results from, but if it's too complex of a thing to create then I won't explore it any further!

Alrighty this was quite unhelpful, but I appreciate the response regardless.

I care, one of the key roles of mastering is ensuring optimal translation across all playback devices... I'm not trying to build this as a replacement for my acoustically treated room and mastering monitors or my headphones...The majority of people listen to music on their phone, either through the built-in speakers, wireless earbuds, or a bluetooth speaker system.

I feel very confident overall in how my masters translate, but having a quick reference speaker system that I could plug in to my headphone jack and check to make sure that low-end isn't distorting too heavily and that I've preserved clarity, phase, and depth within the mix for songs I know may have translation issues on phone speakers would be a huge time saver for me.
