    A MUST have item

    Posted by Dave Z on May 15th 2026

    This is a MUST for your pinball machine if you want to take the gameplay experience to the next level. My Metallica remastered sounds like a true rock show ( upgraded speakers and sub as well ). You actually feel like you’re at a concert as play the game. The gameplay, the lights, the video screen and THE SOUND ! Truly AMAZING

    Pinwoofer spike 2 amplifier

    Posted by Doug Wakeham on Apr 7th 2026

    I bought 2 kits which was the speaker and light kit. Then added the amplifier to Led Zeppelin Pro and Rush LE.. I can just sit and listen. The sound is unbelievable. Took both pinball games to a whole different level.

    Metallica taken to the next level

    Posted by Dave on Mar 30th 2026

    Metallica remastered now sounds EPIC. The new amp and speaker upgrades made the machine literally shake the floor. OUTSTANDING AMP and super simple to install. This amp WILL be going in all of my compatible machines. Pinball never sounded better. Now it’s time to HIT THE LIGHTS ..

    Worth EVERY Penny

    Posted by Damian Thorkelson on Apr 24th 2025

    I didn’t believe the hype—seriously, how much of a difference could this sound amp really make on a pinball machine? But wow, was I wrong… wrong, wrong, wrong! The moment I installed the Pinwoofer PowerBoard on my LED Zeppelin Stern Spike-2 machine, it was like someone took the volume knob on immersion and cranked it to 11 (sorry for the bad Spinal Tap joke). Even my wife—who usually just humors my pinball obsession—walked by and said, “You need to get more of these.” That’s when I knew this wasn’t just a small improvement. She said to order another for our Foo Fighters table. Some mods that just blink lights cost nearly as much, and while they look cool, they don’t even come close to the impact this sound upgrade delivers. Pinball is all about sound and how it drives the energy, the pacing, and the vibe of the game. And the PowerWave amp absolutely delivers on that front. Installing was easy. Watch the video. Watch it again, and you will be in business and installed in under 15 minutes. Great instructional video for this process. I only wish I had more cash lying around to upgrade every machine I own at once. But I’ll get there, one booming, bass-packed cabinet at a time. I only wish I found this sooner… not only to get the amp but the whole speaker set and not the route I went. At least I found it now. Bottom line: Worth every penny. Full Stop.

    Just do it!

    Posted by Kevin O on Mar 16th 2025

    Very easy install on my TMNT Premium and I love how it integrates with the stock PCB. I'm really happy with the sound! No distortion. Perfect amount of bass, Crisp powerful highs. And the cab does not rattle either. Stock amplifiers on anything is usually underwhelming. So the upgrade is well worth it! Adjustments are easy via the knob controls and also has the line out, external sub, and headphone outputs as well which is nice to have if ever needed. I also like the fact that the amp does not pop the speakers when shutting down. This was my first pinball and when I get another pin then I will definitely be getting another PowerWave amp, Highly recommended!

    Powerwave is a great bang for the buck!

    Posted by Thomas Ceckitti on Jan 13th 2025

    I installed the Powerwave amp in my Jaws machine specifically to enhance the legendary "duuuuun duuuuuuuuuun" theme in the soundtrack. But I was pleasantly pleased with how much more crisp and clear the vocal callouts and the mids and highs became in the back box speakers! This is a great product to add to your Spike 2 machine, and the price is very reasonable. Also installation couldn't have been any easier. I will def purchase again if I add more Spike 2 games to my collection.

    Clean, Easy Install, Great Sound!

    Posted by Chris Patterson on Dec 10th 2024

    So easy to install. Adjustments are easy and sound quality is dramatically improved over the stock amplifier. Upgraded speakers have plenty of power to deliver impactful bass from a cabinet subwoofer. You'll need to chase down every rattle once the machine comes alive!
