| ARTIFACT:
pictures of speaker de-casing :) Just an idea of the location for the speakers (they are not mounted yet) I will cut out thin strips in the plywood as speaker grill. I am going to need a longer volume knob, to put it through the 3/4" panel and reach the circuit board. |

I just bought some heavy duty casters (I believe they are rated for 175 lbs each) - as suggested above (thanks) I will mount them BEHIND the cab toward the floor - a few inches from the edge to hide them... To transport the cab, just tilt it back a bit and ROLL! (... remove the TV first! OUCH that thing is HEAVY :)) I need heavy duty rubber blocks/feet to screw at the bottom (5 of them)- the guy at home depot told me about a store that carries a good choice of them... for another day. I also got myself: . a standard electrical switch . a soldering iron to connect the speakers to the amplifier circuit board (+ potentially some of my power wires/switches) . some more velcro... always need some velcro around Voila... As usual I'll post pics as I make progress... :cheers: Stay tuned! |

Progress Report: . re-soldered speakers and amplifier wires to circuit board ... I had to cut all the wires to de-case properly (see pics above) . put speakers in cab to test them ... THEY STILL WORK (LOL) . Updated the design of my Control Panel: ---- Button placement more "ergonomic" ---- Modeled my joysticks in 3D (Mag Stick PLUS) ... the previous CAD drawings showed J-Sticks Some preview plans of my CP with Mag Stick PLUS joysticks (artwork not shown, cab colors not final ) |

You should put some kind of enclosure on those speakers - they will sound even worse than before they were taken out... |

The main thing you need is the amp and controls. Use better speakers, and match ohms if possible...but not completely neccessary. |
