I have my first speaker set up with sound by push button for a scene I'm working on. The speaker is a round 2 1/2 inches in diameter.
For those of you with sound, how do you mount the speakers above the layout, in a building or underneath? Are there commercial brackets available? Any information would be great.
Pictures welcome! Thank you, Terry

I search around for a spray can lid of the correct size to create a baffle, then I put them into a building or hidden in scenery. You can hide them in tall grass or shrubs just at grade level with a fine screen on them as well.
GRJ concisely sums it up. You want to put your speaker in a sealed chamber which will dramatically improve the sound volume/quality vs. an open-air mounting. In addition to spray can lids (which I think are coincidentally 2-1/2"), I've used yogurt cups, laundry detergent screw tops, PVC pipe (shown below), etc. The key is to seal the gaps between the speaker rim and the chamber.
Thanks for both your inputs. It now makes sense to me. Terry
