A little bit of advice if your buying a cab rather than buillding...Make sure it is what it says it is....I did not.. Bought a Virtua Striker 2 cab...Looked up the dimensions....Fine... Picked cab up.....Noticed ickle sticker on back said Virtua fighter 3... It was a conversion.... Needless to say it was bigger and would not fit through my doorways.... Had to *completely* strip the bloody thing down..... Oh how I laughed..... ;D |

(I dont own property, so I will need to move it easily). Also, for my first one, I will be going a different route and making a frame for the base and top out of 2x4 and then using 1/4 inch plywood. This is cheaper and hopefully lighter than the standard method. :applaud: --- End quote --- That's how I've designed my cab. It's three parts; The Base, The CP, and the Top. I have VERY tight tolerances of the cab not being more than 29" wide, or 35" deep if I want to get it out of my basement and into my gameroom. Any wider in either dimension and it won't fit. So my Base is just up to the where the top of the CP will sit, the CP is built first and built separately, and the top will rest on the base. So I'll be able to assemble it all in my gameroom and also move it wherever I need to. --- End quote --- You may want to consider using Control Panel Clamps. That way you can make the CP wider and then when you need to move it you can simply unlatch the clamps. http://www.twistedquarter.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7&products_id=40 ~ D |
