Sample Speaker Installations

Mounting speaker in hood of engine using a metal grill for the exhaust.

Using the fuel tank as a speaker

baffle is quite easy. In this case the

speaker eminates sound into the

body.

Mounting a speaker facing out from

inside of the body. You have to seal

all edges of the speaker for a proper

baffle.

In the case of a long body, such as the GG1, you can place four speakers inside the

shell. As shown above, the body shell is used as the backside of the baffle The more

speakers, the better the sound (especially when using small speakers as in model

locomotives. Four speakers make an ideal configuration.

Body shell before speaker installation.

For open body shells it is necessary to make a speaker baffle instead of using

the body for a baffle. In both cases, the backside of the speaker is closed off.

Body shell after speaker installation. Speakers are mounted on a card stock formed

shelf and then hot melted in place. Air space is required between the front of the

speakers and the body bottom but the back of the speaker enclosure is completely

sealed to make a good enclosure / baffle! This type of installation yields more sound

per watt than one single speaker.
