Not sure how to install  or what speaker to buy with same 16 ohm 5volt rating  I've checked past posts I purchased 2" from Parts Express as GGG suggested   Sound is great wire tied to engine replacing my flaking orig. Starr Mth speaker Fuel tank housing not large enough even if ground or milled out Barry suggested Mth bf0000033 but website picture shows that as 50mm or 2" which would not work either. I always dislike modifying anything Anyone else no of 1 3/4" 16 ohm 5volt speaker that might work.Thanks

No, but they may in time.  Depends on the Engine SF.  The .25W was what was first use.  You also have to worry about freq response.  Also, he needs 45mm not 40mm, though smaller takes less work to install.

Unfortunately, those speaker that where high watt, and small size where never adequately remanufactured in 16 ohm.  The 5V R2 Premier uses it also.  Luckily there are 4 ohm alternatives for 3V and upgrade repairs.  G

Thanks GGG and Chuck Sartor for your information I've just finished installing Parts Express speaker after cutting off sides with Dremel Don't think its going to work well though had to cutaway to much frame to edge of cone I glued edge  And will let set overnight before trying. Brand of speaker might have been larger than what you where using Chuck Sending some pictures Should know tomorrow and let you know how it worked Thanks

Thanks G  for reply but now I have more than speaker problem when I started up engine, buzzed and 2 other engine's on layout started up .I shut down quickly removed speaker with orig., I reset engine but all sounds are gone Engine still runs fine in both DCS and conventional ,I'm Thinking I most likely shorted sound board do you think  speaker magnet touching mounting screw as pictured may have caused this and would this engine be worth ps3 upgrade or should I be satisfied to   run it quietly.Thanks ChuckIMG_20190108_173014991_HDR

Thanks G I really liked that 2" speaker for Sound when I had it wire tied on I just didn't want to Modify cutting off mounting posts at bottom of fuel tank housing that would have left cut speaker lower and speaker magnet not coming in contact with frame Hind site on my part, Smaller 40 or 45mm  flat would probably done better I just thought 2'' 16 ohm cut down might last and sound more like orig. and since I already had speaker it was worth try but I botched it Thanks for replies.[Quiet sitting on siding waiting repairs] Chuck
