    PowerWave Amplifier and Kit

    Posted by David Keys on Nov 25th 2024

    I was so impressed Retro Ralph’s video review of his experience with PinWoofer’s PowerWave Amplifier on his 70th Anniversary Edition Godzilla, that I decided to jump all the way in and I purchased a PowerWave Amplifier for our Godzilla Premium and a complete PowerWave Kit for both our James Bond LE and JAWS LE. Firstly, the ingenious design of the PowerWave Amplifier makes it incredibly easy to install. It installs in minutes. However, if you’re like me and need all the help you can get, Craig from Hurry Up Pinball has an easy to follow PowerWave Amplifier Installation video that I highly recommend. I had already upgraded the speakers on our Godzilla Premium a couple years ago with Flipper Fidelity 5.25” back box speakers and much beefier subwoofer cabinet speaker, so Dan at PinWoofer recommended adding the PowerWave Amplifier to our Godzilla Premium. The improvement was immediately noticeable. During the first game after installing the PowerWave Amplifier we heard new details of the game’s soundtrack that we never noticed before. Not only did the volume improve greatly, but so did the detail and depth of the audio. Next, I replaced the original stock LE speakers on our James Bond and JAWS with the PowerWave Amplifier Kits and the results are jaw-dropping. The detail of the callouts and sound effects and depth and range of the musical soundtrack is nothing short amazing. The audio content of modern pinball machines has evolved elaborately over the last decade. Yet manufacturers continue to utilize inadequate speakers and amplifiers on their games. In my opinion, the PinWoofer PowerWave Amplifier Kit is the single greatest improvement you can make on your Stern Spike 2 Pinball Machine. I just ordered my fourth PowerWave Amplifier for our Stern Jurassic Park.

    #1 Pinball Audio Solution

    Posted by Craig Hughes on Oct 14th 2024

    I have pinwoofer amps installed on all of my games and am a DIY'er at heart so the DIY solution was my got to sound add on up until the Powerwave. It is the culmination of years of tweaking and everything has been thought of here: stable connection, seemless integration with existing Spike 2 system, shadowless and no cumbersome wires in addition to factory wires, better visibility of controls, cutout for factory LED lighting system, integrated power solution , a perfect all-in-one package, superior audio enhancement. What more can I say, this is the audio solution that you must have as a pinball enthusiast to bring out the most from your game and experience.

    Pleasantly surprised!

    Posted by Kyle Roden on Oct 2nd 2024

    I got this because the diy amp option has a lot of pain points and I just wanted less hassle. But I was really impressed with the quality of this product. It is heavy. It's easy to install and it sounds great right out of the box. Will order more for the rest of my lineup!

    Spike-2 PowerWave Super Kit

    Posted by Trenton on Sep 30th 2024

    Extremely happy with my purchase. Product came quickly and all of the packing was great. Plenty of install videos to help make the process as easy as possible. On top of that the owner is a great guy and responded super quickly to the few questions I emailed over. The sound difference is insane and I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a sound upgrade. 10/10

    The sound quality over stock is amazing. Love the external sub option as well. This brings your pins to life and makes them feel bright and alive comparative to stock. Highly recommended.

    Powerwave amp

    Posted by Mark Mifflin on Jul 21st 2024

    This is the second I've purchased, the first for Stranger Things, second for Iron Maiden. Literally a 5 minute install with no tools, and paired with Pinwoofer speakers , sounds incredible. Service is the best by far in pinball, looking forward to my next game to do the same.

    Powerwave Amp

    Posted by Kevin Brown on May 20th 2024

    Just received my Powerwave a little earlier today for my Deadpool Pro. Super easy to install (excellent detailed instructions) and highly tunable. I’ll be pairing this with Pinwoofers 5.25 back box speakers, and cabinet Sub to get the best results from the amp! Fantastic customer service, and a very nice upgrade for anyone looking to improve on the Spike 2 OEM sound quality. Nice job Pinwoofer!
