Are they 2 50 Ohm speakers wired in series toget the 100 Ohm that the Loksound decoder uses?

Or are they 2 100 Ohm speakers wired in parallel to get 50 Ohm?

I'massuming this is the "smart dummy" setup with 2 in the B unit and 1 in the A.

I've been curious about building my own.

 An Email to Matt at BLI should get you some speakers. Tonys has the Loksound 100 ohm speakers. They may have the 50 ohm also or can tell you where to get them.

I´ve tested everything. The speakers has a fritter noise, that dessapear (in part) when I press softly the plastic black cone. The third speaker is OK. All wires are fine too.

I would check for a loose wire, or damaged insulation before I replaced the speaker. Do you have the means to test the speaker before you replace it?
