You NEED an enclosure for the speaker, unless you really like poor sound. Either the one David suggested, or the fancier custom one - but you need SOMETHING besides the bare speaker.

CB&Q4-8-4Fanaticjbinkley can i put the speaker under the radiator grille? i was thinking of putting it under there because the grille pops off if i would ever need to get the speaker.
You can go with this method,

or make your own.

Under the hatch worked for the SD40-2 I did. I'm not sure what specific speaker and enclosure it was, the customer already had it, I just made it fit. Would have been easier with a Rev-A to repalce the Athearn board but he already had a Rev-U.

Yep. A Rev-U with a 16x35mm will also work. It just depends on how much work you want to do.

The one I had made so much growling noise that it would have drowned out the sound from a decoder, so only a TCS T-1 motor control decoder was put into it. I say "had" because I gave it away and purchased a Kato.
