Pmorgancym Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Anyone have any suggestions for a beefier speaker suitable for this combination? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sotto Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 No suggestions I am afraid, but I am interested in the answer as I have a couple of 66s awaiting sound fitting and space seems limited. Or at least, too limited for the only spare speaker I have lying around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sotto Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Just spotted that you asked same question in the main HM7000 thread and had a useful answer. Oddly, that answer has also enabled me to identify my unknown 'too big' speaker- it is one of the Road and Rails megabass examples- the biggest. I might try seeing if it will squeeze in with some chopping.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sotto Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Well back from tinkering, as you will have already worked out if you have taken the body off there is only about 6 to 10mm of height for the speaker depending on whether it is narrow enough to fit between as opposed to on top of the rails on the chassis - either way the full sized Megabass speaker will not fit without cutting its enclosure off- probably best to use it for something where it fits without that! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guides I have read people remove the existing enclosure in the loco 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sotto Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 I think it depends on which generation of the loco you have- mine had no original enclosure. Still not enough room for that particular speaker. Plenty of others seem to be small enough though, it is just knowing how good they are, or not! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepetty Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Two 20X20X7 speakers should fit. https://www.dckits-devideos.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=223_75&product_id=379 Charlie - Legomanbiffo 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
