Quoted from Hazoff:

Maroon 5 is fuckin shit. Enough with the stats, the majority of pinsiders are players and collectors who don't care about how well the game will earn on location. Ur talking Maroon 5 in a thread for a game where the music was made by a man who made this classic album and its hurting my head. Good day to u Sir.

Great....now I'm stuck here for a half hour listening to an album I've heard countless times before (but not for years). S.O.D. Speak English Or Die: The greatest, short attention span, thrash album ever.!?

Quoted from Robertstone0407:

Whats the extra LE goodie? Pretty lame theres no speaker
light

Quoted from DylanFan71:

Not sure. There's supposed to be something extra?
I'll check the goodie bag later.
I was surprised about the lack of speaker lights too.

With SPIKE 2, Stern has always been hit or miss with their LE
speaker light attempts and even having the larger speaker size on
the LEs is sporadic. I do have a theory with The Munsters and Black
Knight:SoR not having the lit speaker rings from the factory. Maybe
they are avoiding that with the white coned Kenwood speakers. Those
white cones already show light through them (if you want them to or
not). Just the translite LEDs on the board cause the top area of
the white cones to glow. I'm guessing if Stern added the 4 lights
to each speaker, like they did on Batman SLE and Deadpool LE it
would light the cones up even more (and not just the rings as
intended)....and possibly not in a good way. I did a little
tinkering with backlighting on those Kenwood speakers and though
they were very easy to get lit up....the frame of the speakers cast
quite a nasty and uneven looking shadow on the cones when viewing
them from the front side. To light the back of the cones well I
believe the lights would have to be placed between the back of the
cone and the speakers own mounting frame (that holds the magnet).
Basically the light would have to be INSIDE the speaker to light
the cones evenly. I don't think Stern is willing to go to that
effort and cost to redesign their speaker / ring lighting
system.

I may be completely wrong on my thoughts about the white cones
deterring them...I mean Iron Maiden did have the larger speakers
with the rings that were not lit and it had the darker coned
speakers. So maybe it is just a bill of materials cut to save a few
bucks on the 4 lights for each speaker and the brackets that hold
them in place on certain games.

I would be interested to see what a Deadpool LE and it's factory
LE lighting would look like with one of those white coned Kenwood
speakers in it. I'm guessing it would look fairly jank (with the
white cones being unevenly lit with its own frame casting shadows
on them).

PS: Both of my SPIKE 2 Speaker Light Kit types (Standard and
Deluxe) will work fine in BK:SoR LE.

Quoted from EricHadley:

No speaker lights as far as I am aware. Has Stern ever done speaker lights on a LE? I can't think of any

They are sometimes hard to notice when they do them...

Star Trek LE.....(shortly after I introduced pinball speaker lights in late 2012...coincidence?) Fairly well done and interactive, but pretty hard to notice.
Mustang LE.....these were done so poorly I have actually talked to LE owners that didn't even know their game had speaker lights.
Batman 66 SLE....lit rings. Done fairly poorly for what they are. Only 4 bulbs behind the entire ring to try to light it.
Deadpool LE.....same as Batman 66. I honestly think they added these to get rid of excess Batman speaker light parts as the Deadpool manual even calls them Batman parts.

Along with the speaker lights or no speaker lights being inconsistent on the LEs, there is also the same thing with the LEs and their speaker sizes. Some use the standard 4" speakers while others have the larger 5.5" speakers. My guess is that it's a bill of materials thing and if they have any funds left in the BOM budget they add the bigger speakers and if not they just get the standard 4" speakers.

The Munsters LE and Black Knight:SoR LE make many people think they are lit, just because the Kenwood's light colored speaker cones light so easily from behind. All it takes is the backbox lighting to give the upper cones some glow.

Quoted from John_I:

Do you have something that lights the rings on the BKSOR LE? Any custom cutouts in the works? I want to buy a kit from you, but it seems like I need to wait a bit for the custom setup for this machine.

My current SPIKE 2 Speaker Light Kits light the entire grill area (including the ring, as you can see). Both my Standard and Deluxe SPIKE 2 Speaker Light Kits will work in games with the 4" speakers or the 5 1/2" speakers (including the LE games).

Here is a short video I just did showing what my SPIKE 2 Speaker Light Kit would look like in a Black Knight:SoR LE setup (with the 5 1/2" Kenwood speaker and red surround ring). This is shown with the standard light kit ($65) set on JUMP7. The deluxe light kit ($85) can offer far more elaborate color transitions (358 different color / transition patterns).

I am looking to offer different color surrounds (the colored rings) for people using the 5 1/2" speakers in the near future, as it seems a lot of folks are interested in putting the larger 5 1/2" speakers in their premium and pro model games and they may be looking for a different color or material surround than what the factory games have had to offer. Ex: Green surrounds for Munsters pro or purple mirror surrounds for Guardians of the Galaxy.

I do also plan on offering a "full grill" acrylic design suitable for Black Knight: SoR soon, but I don't have that design finalized yet.

Meant 5 1/4" speakers....I don't know why I got 5 1/2" in my head.
