how many speakers are in your cab?
(1/4) > >>
nikfaulkner:
i'm getting to the point where i'm going to be wiring up the speakers in my new cab

(here's my cabs progress) http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=10;action=display;threadid=17849

and i'm probably going to go for 4 speakers as well as a base bin, i know most  games "back in the day" were mono but i'm trying to future proof my cab. i intend to be running some pc games, mp3 software and maybe a psx emulator.

just curious about what's the most common sound setup


thanks

I have a 4.1 setup.  Two speakers on the top (below the marquee) and two speakers on the back corners of the cab (near the base).  They are meant to sound as dissipated surround... The sub is inside the cab of course :)
hulkster:
well i asked this question a few months back, and the general opinion was that 2 speakers were plenty.  the volume level will be fine with 2 speakers and im making a showcase cab! its up to you though, as to how loud you want it, cuz no games that im aware of (mame) use surround sound.
Stingray:
Two, and they're tiny (maybe 2x3) computer speakers. Plenty of sound for MAME.

I went with 3 speakers (2.1).  I wanted that extra bass for explosions and such.  Remember in "Star Castle" when you would blow up the center ship and the cab would practically shake (at least that is how I remember it).
