Title: Building a Cabinet from scratch
Post by: Jopro on July 16, 2015, 08:01:39 pm

Hey guys! I'm somewhat new to the DK scene, but happy to be here! I want to build a Cabinet from scratch, but I'm not sure what all I will need. If anyone knows where I can find a plan to build a cabinet or if you know yourself please tell me! Thanks!

My first suggestion would be to create an account on KLOV at http://forums.arcade-museum.com/ (http://forums.arcade-museum.com/)

While DKF can be of help with technical stuff, as well as info on cabs, we're primarily a strategy/competition forum.

This is a broad question. Building a cab from scratch is a pretty big undertaking. I thing this one is pretty interesting: http://kiwiarcade.blogspot.com/ (http://kiwiarcade.blogspot.com/)
