Nice tank, this was my first tank about 5 yrs. ago. Fiber optics are all ways a pain in the A**, but the older ones all have it. Hint, look into making a shim for the turret. It tends to sag from battery weight and the shim will help from it rubbing the deck top. I forget what forum it was on, but there is a nice one on how to do. A lot of write ups on turret issue.
You just keep going like the energizer rabbit.

Tamiya Leopard 2A6 turret sagging issue.
Custom hinged lift deck.
“I read about the sagging issue and of the multiple ways to deal...”
I built the Leo 2 about a decade ago and still have it. Difficult to drive well, but a favorite. I opted for the Daryl B Turner solution to the potential turret sag, deck interference, rotation issues. Mr Turner moved the battery to the hull and designed and fabricated an amazing one off custom hinged lift deck system. A super bonus is easy battery swap outs, haha.
And building a second Abrams over the Sheridan.
Enjoy.

Speaker box answer.
The speaker is mounted to the deck forward and center in front of the large round vents. The speaker box was repurposed as a sushi storage container and is not used with the tank. The model is loud!

I to took my Leo 2 A6 and moved the battery to the lower hull and made a smaller speaker box about 3 years ago like Pcomm1 said its plenty loud .

You are correct sir on the bunny. You are a busy camper! I see #10 on Sheridan is out. And still reply to every one. I figured you knew about the turret with all the upgrades you purchased, but thought I'd mention it.
Have good one.
Have good one.
