railking big boy whistle ps3

I "test drove" one of these a few weeks ago.  While the volume wasn't my issue, it didn't sound right to me.  I googled and found a video of one and the sounds on the one in the video were way better.  I also noticed on the one I was testing that the chuffing was way off.  Normal is 4 chuffs per revolution and that is what the app said it was but changing it and changing it back made it right.  Thinking about it, I should have tried a factory reset to see if that fixed it.

Maybe try that?

There are quite a number of threads on here that discuss changing speakers adding baffling and such, search is your friend.  The main thing when changing out a speaker is matching the impedance and power.  MTH parts lists the speaker for this unit as 4 ohm.  The sound on the one I tested seemed more "tinny" than I expected.  I wound up not purchasing it but if I had I likely would have tried some baffling or insulation to see if that helped before changing the speaker.

While the impedance is key in picking the speaker, a proper baffle will make worlds of difference in sound quality and volume!  The "tinny" sound you mention is a perfect example, a baffle will give you better bass and an overall improvement in the sound quality.
