Using an empty cabinet as a speaker cabinet?

Quick question, has anyone ever successfully turned a gutted cabinet into a speaker housing, with a 20 inch in the screen, 6's in the marquee, and 10's in the coin door?

Is this even a good idea?
 
because the 6x9 hanging over your head pointed down toward you isn't loud enough and you only want to hear one game over all others?

Why not dress up speakers already made to look like mini arcade cabinets, or build custom? I would think the dimensions and shape of an arcade cabinet would not lend itself to hi-fi. At the very least, the 20,10, and 6x9's would be facing entirely different directions. Custom artwork on existing speakers would be neat, or cut some panels to stick to the sides and then put some custom side art on there. It may end up looking like a moppet cab, but it would sound better.
 
The thing is, I'm not exactly looking for a home, Hi-Fi system, I was just thinking of nifty bass cab to to have around, put my head in the Control Panel, it seems like a fine idea.
