[QUOTE="Monos_Lykos, post: 4627671, member: 594432"] We have played with the gains for quite a while with little marked improvement but in answer to your question, the speakers are mounted inside the hood on either side of the cross. But yes, they are low quality. That decision was born from the cost of having to go through speakers. You see, the tractor rattles quite a bit and is usually exposed to the elements. Getting expensive equipment is asking for punishment. Audio fidelity is not a huge issue either since it is a very loud tractor to boot. That is why we need the loudness, to overpower the noise of the tractor but the system in it now is awful. We did experiment with a PA horn and the results are promising but I have a concern. I have heard (forgive me if I am promoting a myth because I simply do not know) that if only one channel of a car stereo is hooked up, that you can burn out the stereo. If this is the case, would I need to hook in two PA horns, one to each channel? Also, if this is true, could I get away with using a dummy load on one of the channels or would that cause issues having a mismatched load on either channel? Steven [/QUOTE]
