Yes you need a speaker at each control head location.

I think your asking if you need the speaker pod VIP adapter at each head not whether or not you need an actual speaker at each head correct?

I recently purchased a Dual-Head Astro Spectra setup.
I'm assuming you're talking about Motorola Part # : HLN5574_ (a.k.a. "Speaker Audio Switching Pod")
I'm getting this information from "Astro Digital Spectra Mobile Radios : Dual Control Head Radio System - Service Manual" (Part # : 68P81091C78-A)
Page 14 - excerpt : "Install one speaker audio switching pod behind each control head by plugging the pod into the VIP socket, radio speaker pigtail and speaker lead (see Figure 3)"
So yea... sounds like you need a relay pod for both control heads.
I'm glad I read this thread... the "package" I purchased only came with one pod... guess I should buy another one >_<
