PinWoofer audio upgrade improves Jersey Jack audio clarity and bass despite already-good stock system.
Jersey Jack Pinball machines already ship with a solid stock audio system, each side of the backbox houses a 4” mid-range driver and a ½” dome tweeter, delivering clean sound suited for most players. But at higher volumes, the stock tweeters can distort, producing a grainy or tinny sound that hides much of the audio fidelity these titles offer. That backbox design, with tweeters firing vertically and reflecting off metal surfaces, further diminishes mid‑range clarity. 🔊 PinWoofer PowerWaveJ Super Kit A plug-and-play upgrade designed for late-model Jersey Jack Pinball machines (Pirates of the Caribbean and newer). This kit delivers a serious audio transformation: 🌀 8” PW‑8 Subwoofer • 120W RMS / 400W Peak, 91.5 dB sensitivity • Fills the cabinet with deep, punchy bass the stock setup can’t touch ✨ 1” Dome Tweeters • Ferrofluid‑cooled textile domes • Drop-in replacements that eliminate harsh distortion and bring clarity to high-end detail 🎛️ PowerWaveJ Amplifier • 2.1-channel amp: 50W x2 (backbox), 100W (cabinet) • Full EQ control: bass cutoff, cab level, backbox volume, treble, master • Pro I/O: line-level outs, headphone jack, sub chaining, anti-pop circuitry They say this upgrade transforms your Jersey Jack Pinball machine’s audio from good to jaw-dropping… but does it really?

Knapp ArcadeVideoEXCLUSIVE: First ever video of new Harry Potter Pinball at the House of MinaLima store in London!1y agoTim Sexton ranks 1970s pinball's worst machines by gameplay and design quality.
In my opinion, these are the 10 worst mass-produced solid state pinball machines released in the 1970s. Pinball machines can be bad for a variety of reasons. In the 1970s, with limited early solid state technology most of these games just come down to bad playfields, bad themes, and bad art. These are games with very few redeeming features about them. However, somehow, pinball enthusiasts still collect and play these games. ~~~~~~~~ Social Media Links ~~~~~~~~ tiktok.com/timballs twitch.tv/timballs
Programmers are pinball's unsung heroes with design influence equal to lead designers.
Check out Flip N Out Pinball for all your pinball needs! Topic begins at 7:35 In the third part of our Pinball Downunder series, we look at Homepin. Homepin was established in 2013 and was born from the hobby business of Mike Kalinowski. It seems like a really smart idea to set up manufacturing in the world's largest manufacturing country, China, but it turns out to be a mixed bag. Ron and Dave play it as straight as the possibility can from a manufacturer who struggled out of the gate, overcame some very difficult situations, knows a theme is a must, understands costs are king, and whose owner went on a podcast charm offensive, which was more offensive than charming for the pinball community. Correction: In a previous version, Taiwan was mentioned as a semi-autonomous state in the same context as Hong Kong. The episode has been edited to have this reference removed to remain politically neutral. You can read more about Taiwan here: HomePin Games List.
