Only a sucker would use that tiny little “Fatboy” speaker they include with the kit. Everybody knows the bigger the speaker the bigger the sound. Couple that will a quality enclosure and you can get really first rate sound with plenty of volume and deep low frequency bass. If you can’t get the volume out of the ERR Railsounds 5 board you’re doing it wrong.
You are using the fat boy speaker. I have used the board in places that the fat boy speaker was not usable. I perceive a difference in volume....
Also, If I remember correctly some of the earlier boards did have the low volume isssue. I believe it was corrected on later runs... Jon, would know!
