Ed and others: I have installed six of the Sonudtrax units at this
point. In all cases I have used a round 1" speaker that I purchased from
Tony's Train Exchange. They also sell some really spiffy speaker
enclosures for a couple of dollars. The 1" sound much better than the
smaller 3/4" speakers. I have installed the 1" speakers in F-units,
E-units, the Proto 0-8-0 and a Sunset Hudson.
The speaker enclosures are the key. Rich Gortowski has been here and
heard them. Ask Rich for his impressions. (Hey Rich - you out there?)
