For my maiden prem, I used pinwoofer backbox speakers and amp, pinnovators sub hookup and a polk woofer. Sounds like a concert when I crank it.

For some reason, I get terrible feedback from the sub after I turn the game off, like it won't stop. Anyone else have this issue?

You have my interest peeked, would I just tap into the wires right at the subwoofer just like I added to for the subwoofer?

I had that on maiden. I bought a pinnovators setup, prob solved and much better sound

The direct clip from cabinet speaker to sub works great on our other pins tho, just maiden had issues

Your getting feedback from the cabinet speaker. Just reposition the subwoofer so it's not directly under the game's cabinet speaker. Let me know if that solves your problem! Mark

I have the pinnovators setup on mine.

I'm not directly under the cabinet speaker, it's back against the wall (but under the machine). Do I need to move it farther away and not under the game?

Start by turning the sub volume down until is stops feeding back. The turn it up just to the point where it begins to feedback and try moving it around to see how that affects the feedback.

I'll shoot you a pm in a little bit.

This is what I am going to do. Can't wait!

The Polks are still @ $99. Maybe this will be their new price

You will dig it. Best sounding game we have by far. Metallica speakers were a huge upgrade and well worth it, but met is mono I believe and maiden prem is stereo. Plus, bigger speakers in Imdn. good luck!!

Ordered one thanks for the link. Honestly never had one but after playing Alien it just seemed like a game that deserves the sound punch. Hopefully I will hook it up without blowing it up. lol

Does that game have a sub already? Just hook the leads to it and you should be good. You'll need polarity of course.

Got my stuff in today. Plugged it all in to my CV. I am pretty disappointed. My Polk hooked up jumped off the base cabinet speaker will shake the house. I had to turn up the sub all the way just to hear it. Not what I expected. If ain't broke dont fix it I guess. Maybe you have to have their sub...

Hello whthrs166. It's normal to have to turn up the sub with the PINsmx and when using our sub kits due to the output protection. All our kits come with a satisfaction guarantee! If the kit does not meet your satisfaction, we will refund your money. Please contact me directly and we will work with you to see what is going on.

Thanks, Mark

Went to amazon today, not on sale anymore. But, underneath listing said see all offers. I bought a new, in a damaged box, on prime, for $91. Arrived today and it was never opened, new sub. Now have polks on all our games!!

Nice! We tend to buy a lot of things that way. Open box, damaged box, return item. We've never had a problem. Items are just about always like new. It's a great way to save money! Enjoy!

The price was at $99 for at least a week. For a second, I thought maybe that was the new price but then it went back up.

Back down to $99 now ( on first post link )

Was looking for some help. Bought a Polk sub last year and finally getting around to hooking it up but not sure how. Plugged speaker wire in to back of sub and attached alligator clips on other end of speaker wire. Now do I attach to the left and right speaker in backbox or attach to speaker in the bottom of cabinet? Thank in advance.

To base speaker in bottom of game.

Bump

Price is 109 on Amazon right now (used to be 129). Been watching this for a while and finally pulled the trigger with this recent price dip.

In the past I was hesitant to buy a subwoofer as I’m not into blasting my music anymore, done with that in the 1990’s, but I have to say I’m impressed. I have 2 pins hooked up to it with the low pass crossover set to 160Hz to provide more midrange. Even with my pins (spike2) volume set relatively low at 10, it makes a dramatic improvement.

Thanks for the heads up! I’ve been waiting to buy another one and this was perfect timing. Thank you!

Prime days are mon and tues. Prices in the past have been $89. Might wait and see,,,

You can buy a cheaper mixer and run even more pins off of a single woofer (we only play one pin at a time). That allows you to adjust the sub's level for each pin individually.

Where would one get a mixer for this? I run two pins per sub. My AC/DC and Metallica share one. Metallica is WAY louder. Would love to level that out when both are being played.

Here you go. I also install a high-level to low-level adapter that connects to the woofer in each pin. It provides isolation between the pins and lowers the level to something more appropriate for the mixer. Also acts as a balun. May or may not be needed - but eliminates any ground issues between pins.

If you have more than one sub, just get a 'Y' adapter and use both subs, that's what I did. I have a 6 channel mixer and one row of pins goes into that.

What’s the input and output like on that mixer? Will it accept straight up wires? I always just tape two wires off the cabinet sub and my woofers take those wires too. No RCA plug.

1/4" audio connector. So I just ordered some cheap 1/4" mono to RCA adaptors. The SNI-35 (high level to low level audio adapter) has RCA outputs. Then I run a RCA line from the SNI-35 to the mixer w/the 1/4"-RCA adapters. The SNI-35 input is just bare wires, so I just add some small alligator clips to the wires to clamp onto the woofer.

Here's one of the high level to low level audio adapters installed. Different brand, but same concept.

And here's the mixer. An overkill, but Sweetwater (big musical internet seller) is just down the road from me, and it was a heavy discounted demo model.

Thanks for the update. Just ordered another of my wife's least favorite mods.

For what it's worth these just dropped back down to $129.99 from 249.99 on Amazon. I know that is still a higher price than the original price, but that was 2 years ago and what hasn't got up.

Wow - back down to $99 as of 11/15/22

Thanks for the heads up

Not anymore

they have scratch and dent ones over to the side of that page for 98 bux delivered

I have bought a couple of the scratch and dent ones in the past. The last one I got was indistinguishable from a new one. I'm sure it doesn't always work like that but mine had clearly never been opened.
