PixlWav Stern OEM Expression Speaker Light Upgrade Kit Option:

Spike 2 PowerWave Kit

Posted by Kirk Stallings on Jul 3rd 2026

Professional musician and audiophile, so not only is great sound important to me, but having control of it. Pinwoofer lives up to the hype. Sound is noticeably richer before turning knobs to your liking. I spent about 15 minutes dialing in the cabinet / backbox balance, the crossover on the woofer, the EQ on the backbox speakers on Jaws and it’s truly unreal how it sounds… and again, how easy it is to tweak to your liking. Install is a breeze, support is amazing. Only problem is now I must have this awesomeness on the other four pins. Believe the hype

This upgrade is a MUST

Posted by Pete B on Jul 2nd 2026

I ordered a powerwave kit for both my Jaws 50th and later my Star Wars Fall of the Empire. I cannot understate how big of a difference they made. The sounds are clear, The woofer is incredible for feedback and on FOTE, the John Williams sound track is crisp, clear and so impressive. Thanks for making such awesome upgrades. Pinballers, do not hesitate to order one of these.

A must have upgrade especially for music pins

Posted by Jamie Flowers on Jun 8th 2026

Night and day difference, this is a very nice kit. I normally DIY this type of stuff but from now on I’ll just buy it here. Great sound and easy to install

Amazing -- and hugely noticeable - improvement

Posted by Erik Dahl on Jun 5th 2026

I used this kit and speakers to upgrade my Jaws Premium, and the difference was immediately apparent. Everyone who's played it before and after has said the same thing. Really great upgrade, and I'll be looking forward to doing it more often!

What a difference!!

Posted by Anthony Quattlebaum on Apr 17th 2026

I purchased this for my Foo Fighters LE that I just wasn’t satisfied with the original speakers. They sounded very muffled and just didn’t produce the sound I wanted in a music pin. The Pinwoofer speakers with amp not only produce incredible sound, but also enhanced callouts and other game sounds that I didn’t even notice were there with the factory (Kenwood) speakers. If you want the best sound your pinball can produce, don’t hesitate to purchase Pinwoofer speakers. I’m so glad I did.

Pinwoofer

Posted by Michael Jude on Apr 6th 2026

This like all 12 of these I have bought off Dan are fantastic. I honestly can't play without them. And I have put them on Stern Pro, Premium, and LE's. Additionally JJP's and a Barrels (Dune). Worth it every single time. And do yourself a favor and get his speaker lights too!

Smile, You Son of a B**ch

Posted by Jared on Mar 27th 2026

Lurking within our Jaws 50th cabinet, is a frightening 200W monster. You can’t see it…, but you can hear it. You can feel it in your chest. You know it’s there, just waiting for the opportune moment to devour you. It’s getting closer… and closer…. You’re holding your breath… Then it strikes! With John Williams brilliant score ringing out perfect crystal highs, and gut punching lows, you find yourself fighting off 3 tons of great white shark! You may never go into the water again. It took nature 450 million years of evolution to create the perfect engine, the perfect eating machine. It will take you 30 seconds to grab this kit!

Rush Pinball pro

Posted by Val on Feb 25th 2026

I purchased these from Dan after I upgraded my Rush Pinball pro from the Kenwood speaker and Boom 3000 to this Spike 2 Power Wave Kit. Im going to be as straight as possible with you. THESE ARE FRIGGEN AMAZING !!!! THE Sound is to die for . I will rate this a full 10/10. With the upgraded amplifier and these speaker you will get crazy sound. with the Kenwood speaker at volume 30 it's the same as being at 10-12 on this system. At volume 30 it's like your life at their concert. Do not hesitate to buy this package kit. ITS CHEAP for what the ent results are. Thank you so much for making my pinball game even better that I could imagine !!!

PowerWave Super Kit for Rush

Posted by Bob Luffel on Feb 15th 2026

The stock Stern audio on my Rush premium was a big disappointment, even after tweaking as much as possible with the equalizer. A game like Rush demands good audio. The Pinwoofer PowerWave Super Kit plus a 10" subwoofer really brought the music alive and helped to make up for compressed audio tracks. Really makes the game - can't imagine Rush without it. Now I can enjoy the music as much as the great shots and rules. Its a great pin with the Pinwoofer. Its my 3rd Pinwoofer system. Install is easy and went perfect. Can't recommend it enough.
