Sound (as in sound decoders) is harder to make a recomendation for. You'll need to think about speakers, baffles, and extra functions for various lights. Someone else could give you better advice if you want sound.
kb chooch, you have any video's showing the sound from the install?
What kind of speaker is that? I used an ESU speaker. It was loud at first, then it got soft after I had to replace the light board (the Athearn light board was a dud). I think I'll have to check and reseal my speaker. (I'm using Elmer's poster tack. This stuff works wonders!) Do you have to seal your speaker at all? Or does it just pop in and it's good to go?
OK gang, here it is. After much ballyhooing, and gnashing of teeth, sweating of palms, and enough curse words to make a sailor blush, I finally got a video to show.
The sound install was easy, the video itself was a royal pain in the tookas!
Hope you enjoy, and Jerome, what modification did 1207 receive??

Karl, what do you mean?
A Loksound AUX4 will fit in a blue box Athearn, but I would only recommend it for the experienced installer!
Glad ya like it! The speaker is a 14x25mm QSI speaker with a matching enclosure, held in place with 3M 2 sided foam tape. It rides just behind the headlight LED's, the Decoder itself is on the floor of the cab (so to speak).
That QSI speaker is a perfect fit in the front end. Is it an 8 or 4 Ohm speaker and can you tell me where you got it?
Thanks Karl
Karl, you make it look easy.
Here's a pic of an Alco ready for duty, only a TCS plug'n'play in it. Umm, well it should have been plug and play but was more like strip and rebuild. The motor wiring was redone and various areas on insulation installed, and globes changed for LEDs, to get it to DCC ready stage. Then I could plug in a TCS DP2x.
