Gary, the speakers are for you gun sounds I assume, can you mount them in the location of the oil cooler intakes or are the speakers too large?
Yes, and yes, we plan to mount them in that location. They are not too large, and they are housed in an acoustical box for better sound. They have a molded in stand of sorts that we will cut as needed.

The lights, smoke, and sound will all be synchronized together for affect. That is our goal. Brian has the lighting and sound figured out, we are still waiting on the smoke system. It will all be sized to fit in the compartments behind the wing intakes.

Because the front will be open, I want to make provision for exit air as well. The plan is to have the smoke exit the shell discharge chutes and trail off the wings behind each gun from there.

You can see in the picture, there is a fairly large compartment behind each intake. Under the center hatch will be all the switching and charging plugs and jacks.

Good question. Thanks.
