These models include the SD45-2, SDP45, various SD60-types, most of the SD70-types (not the MAc and not the ACe with a speaker behind the cab) and possibly other models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe speaker uses the factory mounting and no modifications are required to replace the factory speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo further enhance the sound of these units without making any modifications, I offer two different companion speakers that will fit behind the cab.

You can then simply cut-off the stock speaker-cavity and reinstall the rear portion of the weight. This cut is very easy to make with an inexpensive hack-saw and about 60 seconds of work. This makes room to install the RAPO-40CM-RC1 system. This will provide a MUCH bigger, beefier sound with greatly improved bass. You can still add one of the front-mounted companion speakers to improve horn and bell localization and gain more volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe speakers come fully assembled and tested.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions are:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAHGS-2800-RC1: 28mmDia x 14mmH\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAHGS-2845-RC1: 12mmH x 17mmW x 26mmD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAHGS-2860-RC1:12mmH x 18mmW x 18mmD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVIDEO:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Q258gpHuoLw\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/youtu.be\/Q258gpHuoLw\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVIDEO: https:\/\/youtu.be\/dg2n71FN8wU\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scale Sound Systems","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49100226462004,"sku":"AHGS-2800-RC1","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0864\/8982\/5588\/files\/7e84c8_4b6376c0157a474f90cc8aaddd05554f_mv2.avif?v=1776525249","url":"https:\/\/yankeedabbler.com\/products\/scale-sound-systems-ahgs-2800-athearn-genesis-sd45-2-sdp45-sd60-sd70-ho-scale-ahgs-2800-rc1","provider":"YankeeDabbler","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
