ok so on my layout im adding building lights etc, but in my church i want to add a lil speaker to sound like a choir singing.

i want the speaker permantly fitted inside the church but with a jack lead coming off which i can plug into the ipad so i can put the playlist on and let it run.

any idea which speaker i need?

An audio speaker would be good  >:D  :smiley-laughing: :smiley-laughing: :smiley-laughing:  :sorrysign:

Do you have an old mobile phone?
The speaker inside will be small and give reasonable sound quality.

If you have a graveyard next to you church you could "bury" a speaker under the grave yard and cover it with grass matting.  That way you could have a bigger speaker which will give a better sound and no one would be any the wiser as the sound would seem to be coming from the lighted church  :thumbsup:

That's a good idea. Actually you could even put the church over a hole in the baseboard with the speaker underneath.

There are several "small" speakers avaialble. I have used "handsfree" sets which can be bought at a reasonable price on Ebay.

Others to consider are such as these which are powered and I used on my arc welder for sound.

You may also want to consider something like and MP3 player so you can just add a SD card for the music
