This is how you put character art on a control panel.

Well done.

Connected 12v rails on one power supply. It's a 70 amp power supply so plenty of current. The other PS runs the pc and leds.

Running the amps through a nakamichi active crossover which I will have mounted on back.  Allows for on the fly xover point adjustments along with level adjustments. 

Also running separate internal circuits for each PS.  So I can plug in to different circuits from the mains.  Probably overkill, but hey why not?

You mind expanding a little more on this part, i'm looking to build a jukebox with a few amps  :)

Sure, it's nothing crazy.  How I have it wired is I have the PS for the amps running directly to a high current power conditioner.  Then I cut the end off that and wired it to an IEC Male connector which is attached to the back of the cab so you can run a regular computer plug to it.  Same thing with the other PS.  So each PS has its own line out of the cab.  This allows me to plug in the cab into separate circuits in the house. (i.e. different plugins that are on separate breakers).  My theater room has multiple 20 amp circuits running in so its easy to have different circuits for me.  For the power to the amps I just used 3 12v rails from the power supply and tied them together to give power to the amps.  Just keep an eye on the current draw of your amps and make sure the power supply has some overhead for even the max draw.  For example one of my amps pulls 20A and the other pulls 25A (max), so I made sure my PS had at least 45A + overhead of around 10-20A

I'd be happy to help with the audio portion of the jukebox, I've built many more speakers than I have arcades :)

I guess I was confused on the 2 line outs....

My 1st cab is running 600 watt amp, 2 10's and 2 boston acoustic tweets, and 2 mid-range, no issues on the same circuit.

I'm trying to find a sweet spot for sound w/o breaking the bank, I like those mini tweets from parts express.

You are going all out, power conditioner as well?  good grief.

However you got my vote, go big or go home, cant ever have enough sound :applaud: :applaud: :applaud:

Oh absolutely its overkill.  The two lines just seemed like a good idea to me :)

I have 8 of the square full range from PE in there + the 10" sub. Great little speakers for like $5 a piece.  I didn't want to mess with going 3 way, and the full range play up to ~15khz and down to around 150hz pretty cleanly.

Dookie farted, Ice cube smelt it, Monster replied "Watch me shoot this MF"

My homie yot is a sound hater, has to be 2 3" cone speakers.

Put some 808 on it, don't mind him....

I put 5.1 in my last setup and got flack for overkill, this is level 10 out max volume 40, so you will appreciate "OVERKILL"

Bro, I just want to see the condition of that ride you gutted in order to listen to "Finish Him!" in G-sync Air Force One Mega 7.1 surround sound. I hope you at least dropped a cassette deck into that bad boy.

Hello, I know this topic has been idle a while. But i wanted to know if you had blueprints of this cabinet? I am looking to build a few cabinets for my family, and this style is perfect for one of the cabinets I wanted to make.
