I'm still in the parts gathering phase of my MAME cab conversion. I was at Target last night and I picked up a set of crappy Labtec speakers for $15 with intentions of hacking them up and using the amplifier to drive the two speakers that are already in my cabinet. However, I had intended to power the amp using the 5v or 12v that power supply in my computer. It turns out that the speakers have a power "brick" that puts out 9.4V at 400mA. Grrr... I know that I could probably rig up something using a linear voltage regulator to knock the 12V down to something close, but I'm far too lazy for that. So after a little digging, I found some crappy internal speakers that are powered off of the PC's 12v power supply. I think these will hack up nicely. What do ya guys think? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=495587&sku=C375-1001 |

Why not just hook up the power "brick"? |
