First picture is the kick loom, used to wire up additional buttons. 2 plugs in the second pic are for connecting stereo sound. Have a look at the wiki: http://wiki.arcadeotaku.com/w/Astro_City_Stereo_Wiring
No idea about the pcb though.

Thanks, Ramza ...I just read the Wiki about the stereo Amp and i have no clue where to go about obtaining the harness for the input labeled "Sound In".

Can i make this myself using a 4 pin JST connector and a RCA cable?...How would i hook up the wires from the rca cable to the 4 pin connector?..

that pcb looks like a JROK sync cleaner or possibly an audio amp of some sort...can you get some closer pics and possibly try tracing where the wires come from/go to?

Heres a close up pic...Looks like it leads to the jamma loom to the connector..

On the bottom pic.. Does anyone know what that outlet is for and where it goes to?...Is it to power the amp?..
Also there is a connector right next to it the brown and yellow wires..Any idea what that's for are goes to?

Thanks in Advance...

Sorry for bumping a slightly older post, but does anyone know what the pin layout is for the kick molex plug that's shown in the first picture?

Also, how was that intended to be attached to, say, a CPS2/3 kick harness?

Awesome, that's exactly what I was looking for.

I do have one more question, though. What is that type of molex connector called (where the holes are smaller on the connector than a regular PC-style molex connector)?

Thanks. :)

AMP Universal Power. Good luck sourcing them except from specialist shops
