This shouldn't be difficult to make get a VU meter like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00UL5MIP4
and use the input and output connectors to pass your backbox speakers through it.

Edit: Maybe this one is better http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00UL5LOS6

I'll make up a couple if people want them. Should work in any music pin I guess. Ordered 5 parts to start, will order as many as needed after we get something working and looking good. Will make a case or front for it when I get it. Probably put one of these into my Iron Maiden Project .

The peak hold appears to be a feature that can be enabled / disabled on the VU Meter.

OP
Quoted from sudsy7:
Forget about the mm, somebody make a giant VU meter backbox topper, and let's really rock!
(not responsible for any photosensitive epileptic seizures

honestly, this is a pretty sweet idea lol

Mine will have a generic case for all music games.

OP
Quoted from sudsy7:
Maybe you don't plan on printing your case, but if you do, I would suggest putting something on it - maybe a treble clef or some musical notes? It won't cost anymore than just printing a box - that's the beauty of 3D printing. You might have a better plan, but PM me if you want to pursue the 3D printing route - all you need is an STL file. I can have a file made for you (no charge for something this easy).

Hi yea. We definitely plan to 3D print the case. I won't be able to start the measuring and creation of the stl file until I have the VU meters in possession though. Of course I welcome any assistance anyone wants to provide
