I love your install vids. There is always some nugget of info or tip I take away from each one. I've installed one if those dcc direct decoders into a proto 2000 s3. It fits perfectly inside the shell of those engines. While it costs more then a "standard" ESU decoder the fact that it comes with built in keep alive and resistors for the LEDs really simplifies the install and keeps the wiring nice and tidy. The dual Scale Sound System speakers are the cats' pajamas, too.👍

Howdy Larry! I'm going to assume your name is Larry since that is what Nick called you...😁 Always look forward to your vids as there is always something new I pick up. Quick question - is the performance of the engine effected much with the removal of the weight for the speaker installation? More of a curiosity question than anything as it probably wouldn't keep me from doing it. It is a FNG question lol. Nicely done and thanks for sharing 🤠

[@SoloContracting]

Yes, my name is Larry. No, removing the weight does not hurt the performance.
