Going to order the Sugarcubes that @jdcolombo linked too and see if the 4 Ohm speakers will work with Paragon 3. It does sound good but after hearing how much better it could sound I got to try it out!
Why 4 ohms? If the audio amp (and the decoder's internal power supply) can handle the extra current needed to drive a 4 ohm speaker, I expect the only thing it will do is to make it louder.
Since it`s 2 8 Ohm speakers in Parallel it`ll drop it to 4 I figured that would be better than going up to 16
But is louder necessarily better? We usually turn down the sound decoder's volume because the sound is too annoying. Anyway, I'll be very interested in your findings. While I know that ESU decoders can handle 4 ohm speaker impedance, I hope that the BLI decoder survives.
Not everybody is annoyed by loud things. Take my wife, for example.
I thought of you more as being just obnoxious rather than loud.
Hey now, you've met me IRL! LOL
Yes, but at that time you were on your best behavior. But here, hidden behind the screen and keyboard, we all see the true you. I'm just kidding Josh, your ok by me.
Interesting. Looks like you connected those speakers in series, so the impedance is 16 ohms. Do you know what was the impedance (resistance would do too) of the original speaker? You can measure it if you have a multimeter handy.
