G1zm0:
im nearly completing my build and am at the stage im thinking about the sounds,
if you are using cabinet speakers how are you running them?
if you have 4 speaker set up how you runing thoes?
has anyone used an old hifi oe head phone socket from pc?
are the cab speakers original ones?

I'm using some car speakers, 6x9's, 100 watt hooked up to a pc amp/sub.

I use car-speakers too. Try to have a look at the mounting covers too. I found a Canton car set with perforated metal covers, that can be routed into the mdf easily for super neat finishing.
If you want good sound, try to make a solid total closed and glued box behind each speaker. Fill it with rockwool or something like it. So do not use the whole cabinet as sound box!
Amplifier is a bit of a pain still. I think a cheap second hand one is best. They eat the headphone signal from the pc and AC 110-240V directly. Another option is a DIY electronics kit, but I think in combination with the needed PSU it will be more expensive than that second hand amplifier.

We use the same system in our cabinets as for my first home cabinet - a 2.1 PC system. The 2 mid-range/tweeter units mount nice behind the lower marquee panel, and the sub mounts at the front, bottom, center for best acoustics, with a wired bass/volume control mounted underneath the CP or behind the PC door.

what ive got so far is a mini hifi with aux in and mic in that i could use for i system with the 2 speakers,
that i was thinking of trying in a genetic cab
ive got a 5.1 surround system with i am thinkng of using my ex golden tee cab, 2 where the original speakers are just under cp.
2 just behind where i removed the led scroller from and subwoofer cut into front panel.
for my driving cab i will use a 2.1 surround pc system.
