My first cab - Phase 1 [In my head]
mr_doles:
Actually I am a master of none of those things. I just got very frustrated because the wire would slip out, I broke some of the quick disconnects squeezing to hard, I had to tape some of them up. I don't mind the wiring as I do networking and have to make LAN cables, but I have nice tools and gadgets at work to lay the wires into. Doing this I felt like I needed a third hand. To be fair I have only crimped with quick disconnects one time before when I was running speakers in my room, just got to get a better feel for it. I am sure by the time I am done I will be better at it and enjoy it more. I am going to redo all of it as it is a mess, that is why there is no picture of the bottom side.
mr_doles:
I wanted to post this for any noobs like myself dealing with the U-Trak. The measurements can be found on Ultimarc's website but I could not wrap my head around how it fit on the control panel to get the width. I took a picture from blind_dado's U-Trak review and overlaid the measurements from Ulimarc. The width was off the screen so I marked it on the picture.
mr_doles:
Still working on the dimensions of the CP and had a question for you guys. I have seen people angle player 3 and player 4 but have not seen any examples of doing it with player 1 and 2. Has anyone done this and do they have any complaints with it. I have attached a very crude picture of what I am talking about.
EDIT: Realized I put the joystick on the wrong side in the picture, told you it was cude.

The problem with angling it like that is that it puts both players on the side of the cab which also has them looking at the monitor from the side, which is a little awkward.
Unless you have a third person who will be in between the two refereeing, there really is no reason to have people stand that far apart from each other.
The other thing to think about is where you plan on putting the cab. If it's in the middle of a wall then there wont be any issue however if it's in a corner then you will have one or both people squished up against the wall.

To all tall people (6 foot plus) I am 6 ' 3" and was wondering what is a good height for the cab.
