Replacing Mrc Speaker With Soundtrax
Posted by scott018 on Monday, July 18, 2011 9:50 AM

    Have a few MRC 1806 sound decoders on my N scale locos and am curious to see if I put in one of the Soundtrax speakers  what it would sound like. Also if its a tough job to do?  It looks easy.   Thanks Much

I've never tried this, but don't think merely changing the speaker is going to make any difference in the sound quality.  N scale is simply too small to have a decent sounding speaker.

 The speakers are mostly the same. There's not all that many companies making the little speakers we need. Changing the speakers won;t do much. Changing the DECODER but using the same speakers, on the other hand...
