I own a Neo Candy Cab with standard MVS wiring. I want to play JAMMA PCBs on it. I have everything figured out except the sound. If I make a fingerboard with Speaker Pos L (pin L) AND Speaker Pos R (pin 10) connected to Speaker Pos (pin 10) on the JAMMA side, and a ground to Speaker Neg (pin L) on the JAMMA side, will it work? If not, hich pins DO I connect? Thanks!

Just connect one speaker between L and 10, do not ground the speaker (most, almost all jamma boards do not have ground on the speaker)

You would be better off with a switch rather than going to the trouble of a finger board imho

MKLs diagram may be easier to follow

Position the switch in the most conveinient location, splice off the harness, on the inside of the door on a small angle bracket is good, or maybe next to the test switch- thats the beauty of cabs- what ever takes your fancy

I have that setup in my neo 25 and it works great! IMO, go with the switch!

Yeah,

I have Dasfool stereo/mono switch in both my candy cabs as my speakers are 8 ohms. I already spoke to MKL about it & he agrees, only use it if your speakers are 4 ohms. I'm no expert, but the switch I use works great. If you have problems accesing the test menu, you may have to set up a temporty wire jumper between pins 15 & M.

Thanks for the info I have two questions though:

Which wires in the harness go to the speaker negatives? The gounds?
And I assume the three points on MKL's diagram are Ground, Left and Right? Is that correct?
