Soundtraxx Sugar Cube speakers

Jeff:

Hey yall,

I just did a introduction on the intro sub forum , but I thought I would get right to it...

I have a dilemma and no real hard answer other than (Yes you can do this)  I have a couple BL Alco RSD 15's which I'm getting ready to remove the DCC and Paragon speakers and install the Railpro  S decoder and soundtraxx speaker. I am wondering should I install two speakers I don't want them to drown out everything in the room, but when a RSD 15 comes around the bend or into a yard you know it down to your bones. so I'm looking for something prototypical, and any advice would be most appreciated.

also the decoders and sound systems I'm removing ... is there any market for that on eBay and if so what do they usually go for?

Thanks so much in advance.

KPack:
Jeff - welcome to the forum!  In answer to your question, more speakers are always better.  With more speakers you will get more depth regardless of volume.  I don't run my locomotives loud, but all of them have a minimum of two speakers in order to allow for a more rounded sound.  Bonus if you can get one speaker in the front of the locomotive, and one in the rear.  That localizes the sound right in the center of the model.

Don't know about selling the old decoders.  I'd imagine there is a market for it, but I've never sold the old stuff at all.  It just goes in my trash can.

Jeff:
Hey KPack thanks.

Just installed two in the first Alco per your suggestion...and wow between the Railpro sound samples and the dual sugar cubes the sound is just jaw dropping.

Thanks again for the reply

I wish that internet videos would do justice to a set up like this so we could all hear it, you know? Glad it worked out for you.
I've been using iPhone speakers and been pretty happy with them, but the results people are getting with sugar cubes makes me wonder about switching.

I've used iPhone 4s speakers but thinking of switching to 8s. My main issue is the lower range of the 567 ULT is about non-existent even with two speakers. The file sounds more like a steam chuff without it. How come we can't have have settings to boost bass?
