Hey Jonathan,
Really nice work! Thanks for sharing.
It appears the TO-2008S is the smallest module they make, but it looks like it barely fits! Did you have to do anything special to get the ohms to match the decoder? Do you have any more photos showing the connections?
Thanks, Mike A.

Hey Mike,

Thanks. I cut off the mounting loops on the sides of the module to get it to fit. The LokSound Micro supports 4-8 Ohm speakers so this is a simple plug and go affair. I did wire in a micro 2 pole M/F plug so I could disconnect the decoder and speaker if I ever need to. I didn't take any more photos. There isn't much more to show though... Just plug in the 8 pin DCC decoder, wire the speaker to the two purple wires and that's it. I would have preferred a keep alive capacitor, but I'm going to see how it goes without just because space is so tight.
