Taito Egret Speakers
« on: October 30, 2007, 11:53:00 am »
I'm attempting to run a MAME machine inside my Taito Egret cabinet, but I am a bit stuck on the speakers situation.  This particular cabinet has 4 speakers (according to what I've found in forum searches, apparently run at 8 ohms each) which support stereo sound.

I'm looking to run a stereo line from my PC via an SA-155 (or equivalent) stereo amplifier, however, I'm a bit confused as to how this will work with 4 speakers (will I need two amps?).  Has anyone else dealt with this particular cabinet in getting the sound to work?  If so, what sort of wiring/amplification setup did you use?

I understand I could just put some PC speakers in, but I'd prefer to use the speakers that already come inside it.

Thanks!

Check your wiring diagram.  You will probably find that the 4 speakers are wired as 2 pairs (L &R).  The if the speakers are 8 ohms each then you probably have 2 in parallel for a 4 ohm load on each channel.   If you have a stereo amp then you can connect it to your speakers.  Just check a wiring diagram or trace the cables yourself.
