Fitting speakers in the PCM Y6b

[NW Modeling List]

I used a pair of 1" Kobitone speakers (courtesy of Soundtraxx) and fitted 
them in the Soundtraxx 1" enclosure. They're narrow enough in diameter to 
fit in the PCM tender casting, although I had to modify (cut) the plastic 
top holder to accommodate the enclosures. Sealed them in with black caulk 
slathered between the side of the enclosure and the tender speaker well 
sides. Looks ugly but sounds great (at least once I swapped out the 
malfunctioning engine for another I had).
Still haven't figured out the right CV setting to synch the drivers. I'm not 
quite ready to slap on a driver cam ... yet.
