For a straight DCC decoder any 9 pin decoder will plug in and you will be set to go. Or you could use the 8 pin . It is your choice.
If your are going to use a sound decoder I think that your best bet would be to use the Tsunami TSU-GN1000 series decoder. It has 1.5 volt lighting out puts for Athearn loco's. 1.5 lights. For the speaker you should be able to mount the speaker ( a 16 MM X 35 MM ) under the grills at the rear of the unit.
Just mount the speaker face up (cone up) under the fan grills. If there are any other openings in shell block them off, so the shell becomes the enclosure.
