Title: Audio from PC to jamma cab speakers?
Post by: FrankTheSpank on August 20, 2009, 06:12:00 pm

Hi, I am in the process of converting a jamma cab into a MAME cab, I have a jPac and arcadeVGA which leaves me only to find a solution for sound.

I know I can use some PC speakers or something but I wanna use the speakers in the jamma cab. So how do I go about running the sound from he PC through the jamma cab speakers?

Is there some adaptor/amp I can buy?

Thanks for any help :)

Hi,

The easiest way is probably to pick up a nice cheap set of speakers and just taking out the original speakers and using the amp to power the speakers in your cabinet at the moment. i did it on a battered up crystal maze and it worked for as long as i needed it to

Thanks, I might do that, but is there an amp I can just buy smewhere? I have no idea what to even search for, lol

Also I notice my jpac has 2 speaker outs. Would I just wire from my jpac to some speaker amp then cut the wires to whatever my jamma speakers go to and wire them to the amp?

Thanks for the advice!

Thanks orion, that looks like what I need. Gonna look around ebay and order one up. Now if only the weather would cool down so I can stand more than 5 minutes in my 200 degree garage where my cab is so I can install it.... lol
