Thanks so much, guys!
Delusional -- assuming you are THE Delusional -- thanks as well for your YouTube videos. They were really helpful as I started researching this project.

Assuming it's from my channel: www.youtube.com\delusional2971 then yeah, it's me. LOL. You're welcome. I've always enjoyed helping fellow arcade enthusiasts out. No question is ever too small. We all have to start somewhere! Good luck with your project!

These are my speakers. I left them in the case, just placed them above the speakers grills:

I have had good luck with LED strips. From the picture, I would attach it higher on the back of the light box area, facing forward. It looks like it would clear just about any speakers that way, and there is more than enough depth to diffuse the LED light and backlight the marquee evenly. The only thing I would consider if you go LED is adding a PWM dimmer so you can dial it in to the right brightness, those LED's are bright and sometimes too bright. If you did end up with a shadow, it would be easy to move the led strip or add a couple more segments in other places to fix shadows.
