Can I use two 8 OHM Fat Boy speakers in series, in a tender that has only one16 OHM Fat Boy speaker. Without damaging the tenders electronics. I cannot find a suitable replacement for a Lionel 6-38050 tender, that has the 16 OHM Fat Boy speaker.

So, to be very specific and answer directly your exact question (sorry for the multiple posts) No, that is not what I would recommend. It would be quieter than normal because you would be presenting a 16Ohm load to the railsounds when it expects and was designed for 8 Ohms.

You could go 2each 4Ohm speakers in series to get 8Ohms

Or 2 16 Ohm speakers in parallel to get 8 Ohms

Or one 8 Ohm speaker.
