Pieter, I hear this argument all the time but I am not sure about it's validity, the purpose of an enclosure is to push all the sounds out the front of the soeaker because without the enclosure the sounds can wrap around the speaker and bounce back into the cone thus causing distortsion. Would this be the same results if the speaker is pointed downward? wouldn't the sound waves bounce back into the cone and cause reduced bass? I have all my speakers pointed upward and they all sound good to me. Ed Sauers

OTOH, a lot of people have noted that they get better results pointing the speakers of whatever type DOWN toward the tracks, firing through the truck mounting holes or openings in fuel tank bottom or tender/ash pan bottom. It seems that the sound waves bouncing off a block enhances the base values. Those in doubt can test by holding a hand close above the upward pointing speaker output. If the result doesn't sound better to you, then don't bother to change the mounting to point down. Most AM diesels don't provide a plug for the decoder. While I hard-wired mine, adding an after-market plug will be easier if you need to change out the decoder for any reason later. Finally, get some warm-white LEDs and resistors to replace the single AM bulb (or blueish "white" LED). The longer life span and improved color are both worth the effort. Pieter E.
