        1. Led Zeppelin - Pro/Premium/LE
        2. Rush - Pro/Premium/LE
        3. Foo Fighters - Premium/LE

PixlWav Stern OEM Expression Speaker Light Upgrade Kit Option:

      • The OEM offering is not visually appealing to many because it uses low-cost LED strips and a flat diffuser.

    Pinwoofer setup including CDU and Sub

    Posted by Brandon Klopp on Mar 28th 2025

    Precisely what I was looking for to upgrade the basic sound on my Rush LE / Stern Pinball machine. I must recommend the secondary / add-on the CDU kit which enables external sub capability. But also having the headphone controls and external volume and bass frequency controls is a must and quite useful. Really impressive sound when it all comes together. You're in for a treat (Get a good sub too - you won't regret it!) This machine sounds like a friggen Rock Concert. Incredible

    Metallica upgraded sound system

    Posted by Matthew Main Street Pinball on Jan 7th 2025

    I bought pins sound and other upgraded sound systems in the past they don’t remotely compare to pin woofer. This sound system is a huge enhancement to your Pinball experience and I highly recommend it. Installation was very easy with the YouTube video that was provided. They didn’t skip any steps. They explained everything so simply it was very, very easy to install. Do not hesitate by this product. I plan on putting them in every new stern that I purchase.

    John Wick Prem (Pinwoofer Super Kit)

    Posted by John on Nov 13th 2024

    I installed the Pinwoofer super kit in my JW premium. Wow Just Wow, probably the best mod out there, such an amazing upgrade. It’s come alive!! so much cleaner highs and mids and the bass is on another level. This system is a must for the John Wick soundtrack, it sounds amazing, It really puts you in the game/movie, such an immersive feeling. I loved the pin before but it was definitely lacking sound from the stock speakers and now I’m blown away with how great it sounds. Great Job Pinwoofer!!

    PinWoofer Spike Super Kit

    Posted by K J Holloway on Nov 7th 2024

    I am extremely pleased with the PinWoofer Spike Super Kit! For me, it's like working with Apple brand products...everything fits together perfectly and integrates seamlessly with every pinball machine I've installed PinWoofer products into. The tech support from Dan is informative and relayed in a very timely fashion. The best part is that everything sounds fantastic!

    Powerful, full sound

    Posted by Robb Gudgel on Sep 10th 2024

    After installing the Pinwoofer Spike Super Kit on my Iron Maiden Pro, the base was so full that I disabled my shaker motor and couldn't be happier with the setup.

    PinWoofer Spike Super Kit

    Posted by Michael Todd Kafka on Aug 11th 2024

    I purchased this kit for my Stern Jurassic Park game. Dan's great communications and excellent instructions made installation a breeze. The quality of the sound is not comparable to the Stern system. There is significantly more bass and the treble is phenomenal. A highly recommended upgrade.

    Must have audio upgrade

    Posted by Marklard on Aug 5th 2024

    Sterns speakers and amp situation, even the LE "upgrade", are severely lacking in quality and clarity. I put one of these in almost all of my machines and its always a huge improvement. Recently installed one in John Wick and Jaws and it really helps give the soundtrack some backbone.

    Super Kit

    Posted by Nicholas Nosewicz on May 13th 2024

    What an amazing addition to the #1 game in the world. I’ve always wanted to feel the music during a great stack or Mulit-Ball mode and with the easy to set up plug-and-play Pinwoofer speakers and amp I can rock out. Do not be afraid to install! It’s super easy and intuitive. Dan Dean and the Pinwoofer team are on top of it and there if you need them. Five stars all day!
