I have a Bachmann On30 2-8-0 with the pre-installed Soundtraxx sound system, which is a sort of OEM Tsunami, and which worked fine until I started getting fancy. I removed the stock speaker, and installed a 1.06" hi-bass speaker, and gradually the loco started acting like something was shorting out. So I'm hoping someone will know something about these systems, enough to answer these questions:
- Did switching out the stock speaker to the hi-bass cause problems?
- The sound PCB was originally screwed to the 2 raised metal posts on the tender frame. I had to detach it from the posts to fit the bigger speaker. Did that mess something up?
I'm going to try reinstalling everything the way it originally was, or as close as I can get it, to see if that helps. But any suggestions would be appreciated.
