How to start building a 4 player arcade cabinet and system

[yotsuya]

Dave doesn’t get out of bed for sounds systems less than 50,000 watts.

You should be fine, though.

Just added a drawer for all the controllers and misc stuff.  I had to put the no slam hinges in for a nice touch.

Put the reinforcement for the tv mount.

My speaker system for cyber acoustics the M8010 speakers with sub comes in today.  I'm ready to start with that.  I think my fans have come in also.  I will install them on the back panel and insert the return vents as well.  I'm really excited about it.  Last but not least the control panel.  I'm about to get it designed and cut out.

Here is the fans I picked out.  I will install two at the top and two in the middle.

Here is the sound system I plan to put into my cabinet.  I asked David with exteme home arcades and this is the brand he suggested. 
I will get to cut the holes for speakers and fans in the next few days.  Like I said my kids are ready for this to be finished.

One fan is plenty.

I am not a fan of using that kind of speaker for an arcade machine. Maybe consider looking at regular speakers with a small amp. They oftentimes come with covers and they are easy to mount. A good set of 3 way speakers would not be really expensive and they would have much better output.

Thank you sir.  On another note. When I start hooking up the buttons on the control panel,  Where do you hook up the led for the button?  I will be using a ipac 4 board.  Do you have to run a separate wire like the ground wire daisey chain?  I know that is a dump question but I just don't know.  I am about to get started on that next.  thanks

[superpimp1975]

I think I have answered my own question about the led lighting.  No need to take that one on.  thanks again.

I have cut the holes for fans and vents.

I hung the Tv just to make sure all my measurements were going to be right for the outside frame around tv.  I was really impressed how it turned out.  All I had to do is adjust the level on Tv mount 1/4".  lol

Maybe I missed it, but why are you posting PDFs instead of photos?

More over, taking pictures on an iPhone 8 Plus, pasting them into Word 365 document, then saving that as a PDF.

sorry about that.  when email the pic from my phone it is sideways.  the only way I know is to copy it to word and rotate it.  any better ideas.

[newmanfamilyvlogs]

I like Google Photos, as it continuously syncs the photos and videos on your phone to an online account. Shortly after taking pictures you open a webpage on your computer and can download the images from there without having to email them. It should auto-rotate images, but in the case that it doesn't there are editing tools built-in.

Also plugging your phone into your computer would let you select files directly off the device. The image should have a rotation flag set in the file itself that the forum software will understand.

I have everything ready for vinyl.  I have a friend that has a sign shop that is going to help me with the layout.  Im so excited to start on it.  I was wondering if there is a website where we can get layouts or ideas for layouts so we can size them up to my cabinet.

got any more pics of the finished setup?  I am looking at building similar 4 player with a  50"
