    I put an updated pinball pro speaker set in my table and it def sounds much better than stock - well worth it. I'm wondering how much of a diff would adding an external too. Anyone do this or is this just overkill?

    #6 7 years ago

    I'll need to check it out. Are you guys turning off the internal sub and just rolling with external?

    #8 7 years ago

    interesting. What about the pinball pro sub. Would you keep that in with the external sub?

    #11 7 years ago

    thanks for the suggestion. I would love to do the one sub connected at all times to two tables. What sub do you recommend for that and where do you suggest I buy the alligator clip cord from as I want to follow the same approach.

    anyone have a link to a good stereo cable with alligator clips attached? Some of the ones I found look like poor quality and not interested in soldering to normal wire.

    yeah this polk sub seems like the def go too. I already purchased and installed the pinball pro speaker and sub so I'll likely just keep that in the machine (maybe disconnect the sub) if I end up buying the sep sub. At this point, I'll buy one to try it out. Found a used one for 75 but I don't think it's a very good deal. Number of others selling them but not local and shipping kills it.

    hmmm good to know. I was just playing and that pinball pro works well. Not even sure I will do this then. Did it require you to install the stock speaker and sub or just stock sub?

    Quoted from Blackstorm:

    Shoot. Good to know. Will have to put it back in and see how they sound together

    Report back - interested to hear.

    anyone have experience with a POLK PSW350? Seems the same size and might be even more powerful. I ask b/c local person has one for sale...

    #32 7 years ago

    So I just bought the PSW350 - it really shakes. Twice the output power of the PSW10 and esentially the same size (little heavier)... now the question is how I connect it. My TZ really doesn't have a good place to put the cord through so I might need to drill a hole unless you guys have other suggestions.

    As for hookup, I believe the positive and negative go into the last two slots of the 1st row on the sub (which goes +--+) then the other ends go to the subwoofer hookup - prob via alligator clips which I don't have. What I currently have are ends that are straight brass and might be able to be curled to hold onto the existing sub hookup (pinball pro TZ). Any suggestions, lmk.

    Quoted from Pinballpro:

    Here is the connector I am referring to (J2)

    super helpful - thanks!

    I'm assuming the screws are then used to hold the wire in place (which I manually screw "down" to hold in the wire)? Also - the other end of the wire should go into 1 negative and 1 positive on the back of the polk. On the back of mine there are two rows of inputs (+--+, +--+) - does it matter which -,+ I hook into?

    #39 7 years ago

    So I just get everything hooked up - holy shit huge difference. Must play more but for those who never tried - this is def a must try.
