I just recently started having a problem on my IJ. I started getting static during gameplay especially during a loud mode. I've heard rumblings about problems like this with Pinball Pro subwoofers. I do have one of these installed. Any one else have this problem or other thoughts?

Thanks.

The smoothing capacitors (the two large ones on the sound board) may be starting to go bad. They do that a lot. I had the same problem before getting my IJ HEP'ed...when it came back, the problem was gone, and it looked like there were two new caps there. If this just started on its own, that'd be the first place I look.

A speaker doesn't cause static......it's only plays what is sent to it. The board, wiring, and ground wires on the other hand can cause static.

Unless the speaker is damaged, in that case, it is not static, but usually a rattle, or a blown speaker the bass will distort terribly.

I have not heard this issue before, but these rumblings you speak of.....I will gladly help the owners resolve their issues.

I have however, had people purchase our speakers in hopes to eliminate the static problem they were having. I advised them it would not likely resolve the issue (unless wiring related since we include wiring). However the subwoofer wiring is still stock on the IJ, even with an upgrade.

Thanks for the info Greg. I have PinballPro subs in 6 of my machines and they are topnotch. They all work and sound great. I mentioned the static issue to a friend of mine and he asked if I had a PP sub in the machine. I advised yes. He advised that he had heard of the problem before. That's all. Not dissing your subs at all, just trying to figure out why I'm having this problem.
