The controller ports are for exactly what it sounds like. Plugging in a controller wired for Neo Geo's pinout.

Does your board have stereo on the PCB connector? If so, you might want to try that, otherwise there shouldn't be any issues with a 2nd speaker.

my cab is wired standard jamma so i dont think i can do stereo
as for the controllers are there any ones i can just purchase off the net that will work
if not where would i find the right plugs for the sockets so i can wire up my own

If you're talking about this MVS, you have stereo out through the 4 pin connector next to the dips and a mono/stereo switch right above the speaker pot. You just have to connect the right speaker to that connector and you're set.

Edit:
BTW it's a MV1-F, grab the manual from hardmvs.com

OMG I just noticed the chips on the right side are all rearaged compared to the MV1-F! Interesting how there is no mention of that model on hardmvs...
