Continued.....
Started my admin panel. Flush mounted Focal satellite tweeters. If you hadn't noticed yet, this thing will be thumpin. All speakers will ber powered by a 600W JL audio amp. The 6 button holes will house 6 blue illuminated novagems.
I've seen so many variations of how to mount the arcade glass cover for the monitor/tv. Here's my attempt at something new.
Came across this little treasure at the hardware store. Its a tile to carpet transition flooring strip. It has a 1/4" groove, and flat surface flap on the other side. I'm hoping to liquid nail one strip to a piece of mdf across the top and attach the other to the top of my admin panel. The glass will fit into both grooves and give me a smooth seam. More photos to come, will let you know if it passed or failed.
Finally, heres is my rig for sandwiching the lumin disk and the the speaker ring to the walls of the cab, that will illuminate the upper circular holes on the sides of the cab. Each screw will have a spring in between the ring and the MDF, this will help with the tension and keep me from over tightening and possibly damaging the ring or the disk.
Thats all for now.....all comments welcome, good or bad....

The only thing I don't like is the 4:3 picture on that 16:9 screen. But I guess that won't be as obvious when the cabinet has some nice artwork etc to draw the attention.
rablack97:
Man, you already know that is bugging the crap out of me as well. I don't know how to change the aspect for that game to 16:9. Anybody have any ideas? Some of the mame games blow up to full 16:9, but KI just won't do it.
Kman-Sweden:
You're right Rablack97, the tile will do the trick nicely.
Keep it up. :applaud:

Very cool. I love those speaker ring lights. I DID find a lumindisk in orange on amazon.
Thing is. try as I might, I haven't been able to figure a good way to integrate one into my cab. They are very nice looking though, esp being sound activated.
