QSI DCC Install on Generation 5 RS3

I've received a new version RS3, late in 2007. Great news, Aristo has reversed the "guts" to be the way it must have originally been designed (like backwards freight car floors).

Now the QSI decoder or Aristo on board receiver clears the speaker properly, and just plugs in once you have removed the 21 screws that hold the shell on.

If you have an older unit, you need to reverse the "guts" so that there is clearance between the speaker and the decoder (improperly assembled at the factory). 

Brandy's site has excellent pictures on these steps and also pictures of exactly where the 21 screws are: Click here for Brandy Bruce's Site

Here's the orientation of the guts that allows the decoder not to hit the speaker: (QSI is in place here)

The QSI sounds great and runs great, headlight dims when in reverse. The Alco sound is realistic, and the stock speaker is very good. Very early RS3s have a smaller speaker, you can replace it with the new style available from Aristo.
