Is it just me.
Has anyone else blown a speaker in the C-19, or any
other Bachmann engine. It comes with a 8 ohm, 1watt speaker.
What is the maximum ohm and watt size I can put into this for
the best sound quality and know I will not have another speaker
blow on me. ???? Never had this happen to me before.
Thanks in advance for any help to this problem.
I use the Phoenix 3", 8 ohm low profile # 820-770 in my C19 and other 3" round speaker installations. Never had a problem.. ed
The stock speaker in the C-19 is 1W. By contrast the speaker in the new 2-6-0 is 2W.
While I have yet to have a failure in my C-19 1W speakers, I have replaced most with speakers from Phoenix which I believe are 2W.
Most sound systems desire 8 ohm speakers.
Hope that helps.

mudhen,
The sound system you have installed will specify the speaker impedance (Ohms) you can use. Also, the speaker must have a power rating (Watts) compatible with the sound system's amplifier. The result is a burned out speaker if the speaker power rating is too low.
Yardmaster, verify the specs of the factory installed speaker in the C-19.
Dimensions:
Frequency Response Range: Hz to kHz
Power: Watts
Impedance: Ohms
To the Yardmaster,
My C-19 come with one 8 ohm - 1watt, 3 inch speaker.
I am told most sound systems need 8 ohm,
3 to 4 watt speakers which comes with the sound board, for
example Phoenix Sound.
