Great option

Posted by Dillon on Aug 31st 2024

Just ordered another one of these for Godzilla - man what a difference this makes. This kit is 5 stars because it literally has everything you need in the kit, and is very reasonably priced. I originally tried to make my own kit, ordering individual items off Amazon and not only did it end up costing more, but it never really worked right and I ended up wasting hours of my time trying to get it to work. I returned the Amazon product and got this one (eventually getting 3 more)! The instructions for install are very easy to follow - there are even videos for each step. No special tools are needed - it took me about an hour or so to remove my old speakers and fully install this one. I noticed an immediate improvement in sound - I feel like now I can hear some callouts that I couldn't previously (maybe I'm imagining this, but the difference is night and day). I'll continue to add this Pinwoofer kit to any new tables I get - A mandatory upgrade in my book.
