Happs to comp speaker hack, or Cyber-Acoustic system?
MrBond:
3 Choices:
1) Ok, I'm looking to hook up two 5 inch shielded speakers that I bought from happcontrols:
Part: 50-9005-00
Nom (Watt): 4
Max (Watt): 12
Ohms: 8
Hz: 135
Will it be safe hooking these up to computer speakers? I believe the computer speakers I have are 4 Ohms. What type of problems, if any, would this cause?
2) My other choice is just using a Cyber-Acoustics audio system with a sub/amp unit with 2 satellite speakers that plug into it:
http://www.cyber-acoustics.com/go/to-na.en/index.cfm?fuseaction=products&brand=Cyber%20Acoustics&category=Speakers&model=CA%2D3550R%2Dus
I would just mount the satellite speakers behind the grill covers in the cab, blocking the light from my marquee light somehow.
3) Hack the satellite speakers to the happs speakers. (Probably don't want to hack these appart, but would it be POSSIBLE?)
I'm thinking the pre-fab woofer and satellite speakers would sound a whole lot better. Which method do you think I should use?
MrBond:
To make things more interesting, I do have 3 seperate inputs for sound on my PC. "front", "rear", and "sub/center". Could I possible hack the computer speakers to the happ speakers for the "front", which would mount very nicely with my grill covers
AND use the cyber-acoustics system as the "sub/center?" or even "rear"?

I'd just stick with the Cyber Acoustics set myself.
I used the same set in my cab.
I threw the sub in the base of the cabinet, and put the speakers just below my marquee.
I removed the bases from the speakers, and screwed through the 1/4" wood back into the factory holes on them.
I also mounted the ON/OFF and Volume switches between the speakers.
That lets me adjust the power and volume on the fly.
That's a really nice function when someone (my wife) complains about the volume, or when the cabinet goes into attract mode while you are on the phone.

That's a great idea. Exactly how did you mount the volume dial/power switch? Thanks!

I have the cyber acoustic system on my arcade, I LOVE IT, basically i broke the base off the right one, and added in 4 feet of wire better the base and the speaker, mounted both speakers (replaced with car boston acoustic 4x6) on top under marquee, then have the base unit with bass and volume control in my keyboard drawer under my control panel. i added a small piece of heatshink to cover the broken top of the base. i works great!!!
