I've been looking for a way to get a direct audio output from my new Rush machine currently on order. This being my first Stern machine and first experience with the Spike system, I figured I would try to use a passive line matching adapter connected with the cabinet speakers to create a low level audio output.

I noticed Pinwoofer has a Spike 2 line output adapter as a part of their audio upgrade package for the Spike system. I PM'd them, and Dan responded immediately, making the line module available on their website.

I ordered one, and am looking forward to getting my machine in and trying this out with an external amp and speakers. This looks like an easy plug and play solution to connect directly to the existing audio out on the Spike board to create a standard tip/ring/sleeve stereo output.

I'm curious if anyone else is considering connecting their machine to an external amplifier and speakers this way?

This might also be a good place to connect a wireless sub transmitter for a self powered sub like the Klipsch 12" model carried by Costco.
