I added the two 10K ohm resistors to the line going from the main engine's speaker to the transmitter. What a difference in the sound quality. It totally eliminated the distortion caused by the amplifier. Not only that, the speaker no longer works like a microphone picking up room sounds and track sounds coming up through the wheels.  You were right John and Willy Gee, the resistors do prevent the amp from over driving the transmitter. Thanks everyone for your input. On to the next project.

Did you have to add the MXR Octaver pedal to get the low frequency?

Yes..with out it sounds didn't get into the 60hz range..more like 300hz using a frequency app on my smartphone. Off i went to my favorite music store (Guitar Center) ran my problem by those guys, they said try this the "octave rig" and if it doesn't work bring it back for a refund. It did the trick..and it has multiple settings to dial end as you please.

Edit..oops this question may have been directed for dave

I would have never thought of going to Guitar Center for something like this? Pretty good idea. I usually just go there to drool over the Les Paul's and wish I would have kept the guitar I had in 7th grade and learned how to really play it instead of just fiddling with it.

I will have to go back and look into some of the sound stuff there. I do know they have a lot of it, but I have no idea what most of it is for? Will have to start asking questions while there!
