I've put a Soundtraxx LCD into a Kato SD70 Mac. I put the speaker into the cab. But, I'm not happy with the sound. Its extremely low and anemic. I would not do it again. Matter of fact I'm thinking of just putting a regular NCE decoder in there. I would like to install a QSI decoder, but at over $100 a pop, I just can't see putting that kind of money into this engine.

And it doesn't sound anemic like the soundtraxx?

Thats what I need then. Except its gonna cost me a hundred bucks
David,
Could you be a bit more specific... I also have a SD70Mac and would like to know where and what speaker you mounted in the unit. I was bummed to find out the fuel tank was solid. I don't want to put it in the cab either.
Thanks,
Peter
Thanks for the information David. One more question. I was already to buy a Soundtraxx because it appears the QSI does not have the sounds (no sound files) for EMD 710 (SD70Mac). Is that true and if so, what sounds do you have in your unit?
Thanks again,
