Quoted from RobT:

Very simple, the "subwoofer" in the kits are not powered by a separate amp. They rely on the sound board in the pin, which is pretty weak. So you will never get as much bass from one of the kits as you will a separate powered subwoofer.

So the right answer is to add an amp to the subwoofer section of a PP or FF upgrade, it sounds like. Hmm. Maybe when the Polk goes back on sale I'll grab one and see how easy it is to take apart...

Quoted from ZEN:

my pp shakes the shit out of the game, no need fo another source, one or the other. bass frequencies are non directional. I didnt get a shaker motor for the tron b/c I dont need one now

In what game?

It's simply a matter of power...look at the audio amp in most pins and you'll find something pretty uninspiring. Better speakers themselves can only do so much. I've got PP and FF systems now and yes, I was happy with the investment, but at the same time I could see an amp for the subwoofer making another nice noticeable improvement. But like others, I'm simply unwilling to have that subwoofer sit on the floor under the game.

Quoted from cosmokramer:

Seems like the sub is small enough to fabricate some brackets and suspend it under the cab near the back and you probably wouldnt even see it

It would still interfere with a pinball dolly.

Quoted from Montu32:

a sub shakes the floor and you feel it up through your legs rather than shaking your machine and hands to bits like a shaker,much better feeling!!!

To each his own. I like the machine itself getting shaken. And besides, my gameroom "floor" is solid concrete. Ain't no sub gonna shake that. *shrug*

My machines don't get moved often, either, but they do get moved sometimes. I rearrange the gameroom from time to time. I move machines to my shop if they need more major overhauls. And sometimes, yes, I sell them.
