Speaker shelf (Project Arcade)
« on: July 31, 2007, 07:26:19 am »
I've just cut my speaker shelf and when it sits on the securing blocks, it is at an angle to the top of the cab. i.e. the edge of the top of the cab is 90-degrees and the speaker shelf looks about 60-degrees.

Is this normal, or do you have to level the speaker shelf off at an angle so it is at the same angle as the top of the cab (for securing the marquee).

Prob been asked a hundred times but only found one vague reference in the search!

Thanks guys!

If I understand you correctly, it is normal.  It sounds like you are ok.  Here is a picture from my website, maybe this will help...

I just used a Happ Marquee Retainer and it worked just fine.

This should still work even though your speaker panel is at an angle:
