Build an OND designed cab 'Metropolis'
vaderag:
Found one on my phone
Holes on the bottom are the ones in the plan, holes on the 'top' are the bottom of the CP and are measured to sit inside the machine. I actually made them a little longer after this to work with a bit better...

I can make an access hole in the CP bottom after it curves out then use thread screws with a thin piece of wood recessed to the CP bottom to seal it after wiring. I don't intend to constantly check/update the wiring so it should work. I agree that a smooth wrap around is an ideal look.

You don't need to seal it. It's inside the machine...
I haven't forgotten I owe you some pics, just been manic with the family!!

I read "it's inside the machine" like 3 times over each time more slowly. Then I was like "oh." "OHHHH." The whole time I created this notion that a bottom hole would be exposed to the player and could reach into the wiring. Obviously they can't if the hole is covered by the main cab when bolted down.
What a relief. Once again giving me peace of mind vaderag, thank you.

:lol
Not a problem, good luck!

Ok guys,
I know this took forever but the woodwork is basically complete! Big thanks to Ond and vaderag for always checking up on me along the way.
Ond I gotta say there's certain details to this build where I realized you were being very precise for a reason. When the top CP board was aligned slightly above the CP backing to hold the marquee glass in place, I felt the magic happening on its own. Superb attention to detail.
vaderag,
I've finally reached the part where I'm going to try out your "bottom" marquee t-molding cut and placement. In the two photos, I wanted you to confirm the following if/when you get a chance:
Is your speaker wood panel and bottom marquee aligned like this? From your photos the black paint does a good job camouflaging the angles joining.

Lastly regarding the plexiglass groove. Is the groove you cut like option #1 or option #2 in the link below? In other words, is the groove starting at the edge or not? For demonstration purposes assume option #2 is on the same side as the t-molding cut in the middle.

Looking great Tyler!
Mine is quite different... The flat panel o take the marqee you have laying on top actually is an extension of the speaker panel (tried to take a pic to show what I mean) so I have a slot along the side and then a slot on the top
I'm not quite sure I understand your second pic
