On Cab Conversions, what did you do to get seat speakers working?

[Boomslang]

Just curious what others did for seat speakers to get them working.

I need to finish off my Daytona USA 2 twin cab conversion and just purchased a twin Sega Rally 2 cab aswell to start on soon

Replaced the speakers with 5.1 channel rears and connected them to the 5.1channel amp/sub inside the seat base. Front speakers also installed, centre speaker not. Benefit is you get surround sound on later arcade games and Daytona sounds awesome with 2 channel surround. Put some pics up of your cab

cool I was thinking of doing that but figured id see what others had done. Ill post it up once its all finished, I don't have speakers up front anymore as I converted to 32"" LCD which required getting rid of speakers. Dashboard needs some work still but Its not far off

Do you have the twin of this cab?

Doesn't it already have a sub? I have one here that would fit if not.

I also have a sub amp for that cab here too if you don't have one in there.

I love the Sega seat subs, really rattles your teeth

hmm no I never had a sub with it

I used logitech 5.1 speaker's wired to a Yamaha receiver.  I took the center speaker apart and mounted it the dash. Sub is inside the cab under the seat.

cool I just brought 2 x Logitech Z506 5.1 setups. Not sure yet if ill actually take out the seat speakers or just wire them up inplace of the actual Logitech rears. I cant remember what impedance the rears were but I believe they were 6 or 8 ohm and im pretty sure the Logitech speakers are 4 ohm but ill check it out. Im pretty sure you can use 6/8 ohm speakers on 4 ohm amp with no issues except lower overall volume, just cant use 4 ohm speakers on a 8 ohm amp etc

then ill have to do the same on the sega rally 2 cab which ive done a bit of work on in last couple weeks now

I just used the original speakers and purchased a small cheap amp to power them. They sound great other than a faint static when there is no sound being played. http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6322720243.html?orderId=64422699621032

On my Dayonta USA cabinets, I used the original sound amp (stereo cinch inputs, yeah!)

My Virtual On cab had a tiny sub (4-5"?) facing upward in a plastic box under the seat.
Easy to not realize it's a sub.

You could probably find a replacement with the correct resistance to connect to a Logitech 5.1 setup.
The surround of my original one was completely deteriorated.
