i really want my cab to rock when playing KillerInstinct of other games
It is a 12'sub and 2 5 1/4 mids..just a small 3 channel amp total watts r 400w rms pretty cool eh..WELL WHAT DO U THINK??
Scumgriever:
Looks like it will be plenty loud enough. :D
I'm currently tossing up between a car stereo and computer speakers. The advantage being that new the computer speakers work out alot cheaper but I don't think any of them will get the sound you will.
... And Hello from Australia.
pointdablame:
Welcome!
It looks really good, nice start. Should be plenty loud enough to rock your hosue :) You might want to ask a mod to move this to the Project Announcements board so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle here in the Main Forum. That way we can see how you progress. Good luck.

I allways put the cart before the horse..
few Questions here..
1) As i know nothing about the control wiring i was thinking of buy'ng the X-Arcade 2 player panel and transfer everything over to my Cp to easy the pressure?
2)I have no idea what colour plastic Laminate and where to get it here in Holland
3) Also i looked at the sticky post for CP but why do people use so many joysticks,I know there is a 4 way and 8 way movement but why cant u just a 1 that does it both?
Scumgriever:
I'm no expert but I'll help where I can.
1) I personally think you're better off building you own, it'll work out cheaper and you obviously have the wood working skills. In terms of wiring, its really cary simple. get an IPAC or a keywiz and you'll have no problems.
2) Sorry, neither so I.
3) I have 4 8-way sticks for 4 players and one 4-way in the center for older games like pacman which don't work properly with an 8-way stick. there are some sticks that are switchable from the top of the control panel but most you have to get underneath with a screwdriver to change, hence the extra 4 way.
