Quoted from rotordave:

No, it’s a full range speaker.
I’m sure that speaker system will make some difference, but remember the speakers are being driven by a 30 year old board, with probably about 4w of output.
You’d be better to keep the standard speakers, and get one of those external powered subs and put it under the machine. I think Polk is the one they go for.
You’ll see them referenced on this site. I think you can get them for under $100 when they’re on sale.

Spot on. It's easy to do. Just tap off the full range speaker in the lower cabinet and run to one of the 2 speaker level inputs on the external sub. It's reversible, you get to keep the sub you invested in for your next machine and you won't overpay for chinese garbage remarketed as a pinball-specific modification.... and your pin glass won't rattle and your audio won't sound like muddled crap because you removed a full range and replaced it with a low range speaker. A total no brainer.
