To the people who want things retro, I'm sorry in advance...
I'm not building a cab that's going to mimic my childhood and I'm not restoring anything.
My idea is a bit weird...
I'm making a 4 player Mame showcase cab with a twist.
I'm adding a arches that will go up and behind the podium. They will contain speaker wire...
For what you say? Speakers!

Let me back up...
I have an extra 5.1 surround sound receiver in my garage that is going to power my Mame.
I will have 5.1 surround on my Mame cab!
Also, I'm going to have extra wide elbow room for the 4 players.

I hate going to an arcade and feeling to fat. I don't want others to feel the same way. I know I will get flack for the 5.1 because games aren't in surround. I will however counter with this.. I'm doing a Mame build and it will have emulators on it as well. Some game on playstation 1 and up were in surround.
OK... any thoughts? Please try to be nice lol
