Hi all Because of a new engine arriving I took the silent decoder out of an engine I plan on adding a sound decoder to. I already have the decoder, but not a speaker. Would it hurt it to wire up the sound decoder and run it with out a speaker attached? Ethan
Typically it is not good to try to run an amplifier circuit without a load. I would not recommend it. BTW, what loco are you installing sound in? I can provide you with an appropriate speaker.
My athearn SD40-2. I had found one that would fit, just never got around to ordering it. The specific one I had looked at isn't on the web site anymore, but I found one here I can order to fit the bill. http://www.litchfieldstation.com/xcart/product.php?productid=999003270&cat=235&page=1 Ethan
Litchfield Station is a very helpful vendor. I also have an Athearn Frisco SD40-2. Are you installing a Tsunami and if so which one? I might treat my SD40-2 to a decoder some day.
Just a word. Keith, made me a couple of speakers and the sound is really great. I would highly recommend you think about his offer. I am really happy with mine. It fit like a glove. William Jackson
