- In this video, I show you how I replace a sugar cube speaker in the South Omaha Terminal CF7 with a smart phone speaker from an iPhone 5. These speakers are very cheap (this cost about a dollar) and easy to install. Plus the sound is incredible!

The episode I posted yesterday had issues with the audio and video syncing, so this fixes that.
Subscribed 😁👍
Thanks! 😊
Great how to thanks for sharing. Happy modeling!! -Jason
You bet, thanks for watching and happy modeling as well!
Thank you for the video!
Was just wondering, I run my trains on DC, not DCC and am happy with that except for the lack of engine sounds. Is there any reason why, on a small layout, a person could not just put the sound card and speakers in a hidden location rather than in the loco? You could hook it to a nice stereo and speakers to have nice full engine sounds throughout the room. I have a fleet of over 20 locomotives I cycle through and there's no way I'm getting sound cards in all these locomotives.
seems like a good fix. nice and small..yet, on video plenty of sound.
Yes, I have found these to be perfect for having great sound and not taking up much space.
What controller is that?
I think you are referring to the ProtoThrottle that I use - it's made by Iowa Scaled Engineering.
Is the Decoder a Tsumai2? I may try this speaker on my GP38. That has the recommended speaker by Soundtraxx, but it doesn't sound quite right.
Yep, it's a SoundTraxx Tsunami2. All of my decoders are SoundTraxx. I would definitely give it a try to replace it.
Autozone has 60% tin/40% lead rosin core solder
Thanks for the tip!
Have you tried putting two SQ speakers in series?
Yes using 2 in series works really well, but I don't understand why the manufacturers set the volume to max. out of the factory!!! I have damaged a couple of speakers, so now I reduce the volume down to under 100 before I do anything else. I don't have a programing track so as soon as the engine starts on the main I mute and use the CV's to adjust the Master volume (cv128), then use JMRI to do the rest of my programing
I have not tried this - I have only used one speaker for each decoder/locomotive.
@@emillerz check this website re sound he is considered to produce some of the best boxes for sugar cube speakers he is a sound engineer who also happens to be a railroad modeller

@@neilrogers1571 Thanks for the tip on that and the link, looks like some really nice work!
Well, there's nothing louder and that makes more noise than Apple computers incorporated, inc. !!!
Sorry for the super late response, I have been taking a break from videos and plan to start up posting again soon. Thanks for the comment!
