Hi Koos, that's a nice video explaining all the steps. It is basically very similar.
I noticed two differences
a. your speaker has a closed backside and works without a baffle. Mine has an open backside and needs to reside in a baffle to prevent an acoustic shortcut.
b. the Tsunami Athearn drop in Tsunami have 1.5 V bulb support only. That's fine if you like the bulbs. I do not and have most Athearn engines replaced with LED. LED will not work with 1.5V properly. They are rated for current but for simplicity you can assume 3V is the right voltage. I did therefor order "universal" instead of drop in decoders for my MP5AC LED equipped machines.
