Pinwoofer has ruined me. Now it’s become a must have for all my pins lol. Installed the sub and backbox amp and speaker kits in my Iron Maiden and it’s amazing how much difference there is. Aerosmith arrives this week and is going to need the same treatment, as will MET I’m sure, once I acquire one.

Quoted from bigdaddy07:

I finally finished adding the Pinwoofer sub and amp to my Met Premium and then later added the BB amp kit (super kit). Here is may full take on experience. First I have to say that Dan has been amazing in his willingness to assist in anyway possible. Just a great experience from a customer service standpoint.
For the speaker system. I added the Woofer kit first. The system is extremely powerful as a sub by itself. I'm not an audio guy (at all) so I can't speak for the technical details with any authority, but the sub kit by itself was like throwing an angry beast inside the cabinet. I had trouble taming it, though I did eventually through some adjustments. I had to first remove the grate, as it was pounding the cheap plastic so hard, it sounding like something was going to shatter. I eventually turned the bass almost all the way down and the game audio to max. I like playing my games loud, but I found the bass was overpowering the Stern BB speakers and that was the only way to find balance. This was an nice addition by itself, but I wanted more.
After adding the BB amp kit...perfect! I can hear sounds that I never noticed before with the stock setup. Super clear and rich audio that you can crank up as loud as you can handle with out losing anything. Having the ability to adjust the BB amp and cabinet bass independently makes a huge difference. This is how a metal themed pin should ship from the factory. I'll say its the best mod I've installed so far, aside from the shaker, which are both must haves for this game.
If you're on the fence regarding purchasing the Pinwoofer kits, my advice is go for it, you'll be happy you did for a game like Met.

Quoted from mattosborn:

The music is limited to 24kHz mono... so there's only so much you can do. Throwing a bunch of hi-fi equipment in there is a waste. Spend ~$20 on a pair of decent backbox speakers, and toss a subwoofer in the cabinet and you'll have a rockin' pinball. Just don't expect it to compete with a typical stereo system. It's a pinball machine.
A good source for cheap subwoofers is craigslist. Yesterday I picked up a Cambridge Soundworks sub with two 8" drivers in it for $20! One of those is going into my Iron Maiden....

I beg to differ, I have found adding different speakers and an amp helps even many of the older games like MET. 24khz sample rate is not terrible by any measure, and on music pins like MET, AS, IMDN and others, upgrading the speakers and installing an amp for them absolutely makes a difference.
