Lionel RS 2.5 Speakers - Info Needed

As long as the load is 8ohms nothing will blow up, no matter how many speakers.

I’ve done a few upgrades using RS2.5 …..thanks to Pete & Lou’s guidance, all I used was two 4 ohm, 4 watt speakers in the tender,……the volume & clarity pounds the ground!!…..I don’t know if you’ll need speakers in the engine, plus, depending on which can motor you use, space will get to be a premium at some point…….add fan smoke, Cruise Commander, etc,….and you’ll be tight on space!…plus, I’d imagine a speaker in the engine would require some sort of enclosure to make it worth the while,…..even more space,……..doing twins in the tender in more than enough IMO,….

Pat, to be clear so others don't burn out the audio amp, they are wired in series, right? (2- 4ohm speakers)

Correct Joe,….thanks for adding that!.

Thank you all for the information! Good to know that as long as the impedance is 8 ohms, all is well. I'll do some testing on which setup I'll use and go based on that.
