I think this would cause my man parts to wake up if I played this.

I love the tilt bob cam though...cool!

Why on the coin door? Theres so much space in the cabinet that you could easily fit a 10" woofer underneath.

So you feel it in your pants.

There is a special mode when the coin door subwoofer activates. The mode is called "The Brown Note".

I heard that's a feature of BOP 2.0 with or without the subwoofer

The match/replay note Maybe they'll compete with Stern to make the loudest most violent noise ever

Ha, glad you enjoyed it! (That's mine.) It was a design challenge to myself; figure out a way to add a really large sub to a game in a reversible way. (...don't get me started on what typical sub kits do wrong!) Only way I could figure out to do it reversibly with no cabinet modifications was to lose the coin door entirely.

I actually did two machines with sub doors, my Mousin' Around and my BoP (back when it was BoP1). I briefly explored the idea of producing kits to make them, but quickly came to the conclusion it wasn't economically feasible. Part of the problem is that you *have to* put a big amp behind it, which means a big power supply for that. Second part of the problem is just the plastic blank itself; it's like $40 or so, then you immediately cut a hole in it of nearly its whole size and throw it away. It's one thing if you're building it for yourself and don't *really care* how much money you're dumping into it, it's another if you're buying it off the shelf; nobody wants to pay $400+ for a coin door subwoofer.

As for the tilt cam, that was basically a joke and small dig at Jason Werdrick. Since BoP2 is already running windows underneath the hood, it's simple to hook up a webcam and run it in a background window. Then repurpose one of the coin slot lights that you previously lost (since you know, the inside of the cabinet is DARK!) and Bob's your uncle... tilt cam! Truth is I almost never bother putting up the tilt cam when it's just *me* playing.

I see where you are coming from, but in a world where people will pay $100 for a plastic toy and $150 for a speaker upgrade, $400 for a well done subwoofer doesn't sound too far off.

A few different reasons, actually. (I've done many games adding a larger speaker to the cabinet, for what it's worth.)

1. Cabinet placement for a woofer, as far as actual speakers go, is atrocious. It's 90 degrees out of phase with the panel speakers, and not in a way that you can correct with electronics; it's physically at a right angle to the panel speakers. The result is that in the crossover region you get lots of humps and valleys of uneven response.
2. You have to cut the cabinet in order for it to be worth adding a large speaker to the cabinet. Yes I know people sell adapter plates to fit larger speakers over smaller holes, but the long and the short of it is if you don't cut the cabinet hole to the correct size you might as well use a smaller speaker to begin with; you're just wasting power shouting a cone directly into wood.
3. It's easily reversible! Unbolt it, unhook it, and it's like it was never there!
4. The power is concentrated right where you want it -- at the player. Yeah you're going to be lighting up the room as well, but the main point is the player; it should be most prominent there.
5. I wasn't using those coin slots anyway.

That's nuts......literally!!

Ha, maybe I should start a kickstarter?

That's BADASS!

I'm in!

My thoughts exactly when I typed my response! LOL.

Interesting idea for sure.

Turn the bass up big time. I bet a lot more wife's and girlfriends would play more often.
