Well, "best" in my mind is the one with all the bells and whistles. So I guess the GT it is! (I just wish I had known about the price increase when I PM'ed you...I would have just bought one and stored it for the game coming at the end of the year.)

PS - My friend will be contacting you for a GT set for his LZLE. He loves the way mine sounds.

Heads up PinWoofer
An unanswered question with a potential sale!

Thought I would share my experience with the GnR kit I bought. To keep it short but sweet, yes the speakers sound better than stock. I'm happy with my purchase and would recommend them for music pins specifically. Is it imperative like a color dmd? No IMO. Is it super easy to install? Yes. And I can't stress how good the customer service is from Dan. The guy is a BEAST and responded to my questions literally within the hour I sent it.

Big props to Dan and appreciate the help. My GnR now sounds even better. Cheers.

Where can I find instructions on the Pinwoofer system regarding making adjustments. My AIQ came with the new system installed and it sounds fine with the volume cranked. But when I want to play at lower volumes, I getting popping and audio cutting out. Leaving AIQ with a ball in the launcher, some of the audio is actually missing from the music and it sounds awful.

I ordered the GT kit for my new Wonka LE. There is so much going on with the audio, great movie clips and audio bytes that were getting lost with the original speakers. I was a bit skeptical. The install took me a bit because I’m a bit of an idiot when it comes to these things but that’s just me. Anyway, I was blown away. It was 10X better than the stock audio. So good in fact, I ordered another one for my Godzilla Premium. I can’t wait to hear it on that thing. It makes me sad that the manufacturers could have audio like this in their pins for just a little more and don’t, but that’s why pinwoofer fills the niche. Great product.

Thanks for the video. Great tutorial. Helped me out a lot today on my install.

What's the likelihood of any Black Saturday deals Dan? Been sitting on the fence for a while.

I recently installed the Pinwoofer system in my EHOH everything was clearer and sharper. Great product and installation video. Dan is great to work with.

Just put one of Dan's kits on zilla, night and day difference. Call outs are crisp, zilla roar more defined, bass hits hard, great addition.

Thanks, Dan

KO amp on gz here as well. Couldn't be happier!

Difference bw ko and the gt? Any Black Friday sale happening?

I’ve never understood this and maybe I’m doing it wrong, but what are we supposed to do with the smallness of the negative terminal on the pyle speaker, as it doesn’t match size of connector on wiring harness and is super loose/wonky when connected?

Just pinch the connector a bit with pliers, easy to spread open with a screwdriver if you go too far

Perfect, thank you!

Anyone know of there are any recommended amp settings yet for Godzilla?

If I have a GZLE , will the pinwoofer speakers really sound better than the kenwoods? If not, do you sell the amp and wires without the speakers if you think the speakers are similar.

Just placed my first Pinwoofer order for GZ LE! Can't wait to try this out!

PinWoofer Any Black Friday sales coming?

It is literally just a few post up in this thread...

Thanks... just ordered the kits after reading his post.

Finally put my KO kit in my JP! SO much easier than the old days with wire taps, etc. It sounds amazing. The game literally roars now!
Thanks Dan!

Wanted to give my experience as a newbie pinball owner with this being my first pinball mod. (About the only relevant experience I have for doing something like this is that I have built gaming PC's before. But I've never done car audio or any kind of workshopping.)

"Experience is what you get just after you need it."

I have Mando Premium and have a Rush LE on order (I got LUCKY) so I wanted to see how this worked out on Mando before modding my grail theme, so I ordered a Pinwoofer KO last week and worked on it this week.

Honestly: while it wasn't exactly a simple mod for someone with no experience, it was very straightforward.

I want to say that the HurryUpPinball videos were IMMENSELY HELPFUL and I watched them a lot before even ordering the kit.

The first issue was completely on me, but I didn't realize it. I had gotten to the backbox speakers and noticed that the washer and nut weren't fitting on the 3D printed mount. I compared the various bags of hardware and thought they were all the same stuff. So, after giving up for the night, I emailed Dan and said that I might have the wrong bags of hardware. Since there was no "packing list" I could cross reference, I just assumed that was the case.

Dan replied the next morning (my email was after hours) and very very gently told me that the two bags in the 3D mount box are actually different hardware, and that the bag I randomly chose was the wrong one - I had picked up the spare nuts and washers that weren't needed because I reused the backbox speaker nuts and washers from the original speakers. Dan was perfectly willing to send me more bags (but I was willing to just go to Home Depot to pick up what I needed) but I went and checked and turned out this was completely on me. I apologized profusely in the next email. I work in software development and frequently deal with "PEBCAK" errors, and now I have become one.

Other than that, the only real difficult part for me personally was due to my lack of car audio experience. I have never hooked up these kinds of speakers, and have never even seen spade connectors until this week. (My speaker wiring is usually in the context of an AV receiver.) This was the ONLY part where the HurryUpPinball vids kinda fell short for me - it was "now hook up the speaker connectors" and it would have a fast forward of hands blocking the view and then "here's what it should look like when it's done." I actually STILL don't know which side of the connector is supposed to be "down" - the flat side or the side with the two bumps, but I'm guessing it doesn't really matter. All that I probably needed was a very quick shot to the camera of the connector's orientation before sliding it onto the terminal.

I did find the post here about pinching the negative connector to make it not fall out - I was at wits end trying to get the negative wire to not pop out with the slightest jiggle but the pliers did the trick.

The cabinet speaker had an interesting wrinkle too, for me - the holes to mount were actually covered by foam on the inside so I had to try to push them aside to get the screw through without puncturing them. I don't blame Pinwoofer for that, as he doesn't make those speakers. It just made it a little more challenging than it probably needed to be.

It worked first boot, though! No issues whatsoever once everything was in. And in my first game after dialing in the blog-suggested settings in DJ mode, I beat my high score.

I'm not saying Pinwoofer helped me get a better score, but I'm not saying Pinwoofer DIDN'T help me get a better score.

My ko kit for rush is here waiting for my machine to show up!!

Anyone willing to share their settings for Led Zeppelin? Thanks.

So I just got in my Ac/dc super kit with the 12” woofer and I got to wait to install as my daughter is custom painting my speaker panel. Im chomping at the bit.

I just installed in aerosmith prem, took out the flipper fidelity it came with. Wow!!!, Huge improvement.

Yeah, no disrespect to ff, but I’ve always been stunned by that difference too

Any new coupons for those of us late to the game?

Anyone put a PinWoofer in BK SOR?

Yes, I Owned a prem a year ago, amazing how good it sounded. The bass really thumps!

Order placed...Thanks PinWoofer for the info

Finally got to install my Ac/Dc super kit with the 12” sub. Such a night and day difference. Everything is top notch from Dan’s customer service to easy install. My son’s reaction was Mom’s going to be pissed! It ended a great day.
