A buddy of mine just typed this up to me in an email a couple weeks ago. I'm copying/pasting.
"Yeah the self powered sub is a piece of cake. Most ext self powered subs have 2 speaker lines in (positive/negative) so you run a pair of wires from the speaker in the cabinet and the big speaker in the backbox thru the back of the game and to the sub. The sub will then play the low/base sounds for the game that went to the cheap original game speakers. That is pretty much it. And if you don't want the sub on it or you want to sell the game, you simply unhook the wires from the speakers and you are done. The cabinet speaker is 1 channel and the 2 backbox speaker are actually 1 channel (2 speakers in parallel but from the same source). It is pretty easy and the game stays original using the self powered sub. And the fast that the sub is self powered, it doesn't require any extra juice from the game to work!"
