Here is what the Double Dragon cab looks like:



On Jakobud's website ( http://www.jakobud.com/cabinetPlans.php ) he has plans for a Moon Patrol cabinet which looks very similar:



You could easily modify the plans to get the sharper edges of the Double Dragon cab.  There are also plans for the Buck O'Hare cabinet which is also similar:

Um, that "Bucky O' Hare" cabinet is a Bally/Sente Sac-I cabinet.

The Double Dragon cabinet probably gets my vote as the single least distinctive cabinet design ever made. It is one of the few I have trouble IDing on sight.

thanks a lot guys. i've gone with the centipede dimensions (from the site you recommended above). Spot on.

is MDF (fiberboard) the best material to make the cab with?

You'll see numerous topics on this, but yes, MDF is the material most people choose.
