Konami Wiring
From 1986 or so until 1998, Konami used a standard set of wiring for all of its games. All of this wiring uses JST NH connectors and the pins are numbered as they are on the connector.

Connect directly to speakers, or, turn cab and board down before connecting and connect to amplifier.

Remember to flip dip switches on Konami GX and newer, or move the 4 pin jumper to "Stereo" on the PCB.
