Wondering your opinions on these.  Worth it or what?  Probably going to be on an individual basis but if part of the love for pinball is the sound quality, I'm sure you will think it's worth it.

The guy I bought the DM from this weekend has an Addam's Family with the sound kit (8" subwoofer and upgraded speakers), I think he got it on Ebay from Pinball Pro.  Wondering if any of you have bought one and what your opinion is.

I thought the base was awesome, floor rumbled, etc.  I'd like to see how it sounds on all 3 of my machines.  I think the T-2 will sound exceptionally good with the canon power up sounds, T-2 theme music, etc.  

Also if there's somewhere else that is better to buy from or cheaper, or a better kit out there ( I don't know if there are more than one kit but probably is), point me in that direction. I'm thinking of buying one kit and trying it out (JD and DM take same one, T-2 is different though).

Or if you think it's a waste of money state that too.

I PM'd him, waiting for response.  What kind of wattage are they, what is the cost?  I wonder how much they cost to ship to the US.

Do they rattle your windows? lol

Thank you very much for the offer.  Would the Embassador Bridge give me a problem trying to cross back in with that stuff though?

I am 20 minutes south of Detroit so just a hop skip and a jump away.

Just declare it at the border.  They probably wont care but if they do you will just have to pay tax etc.

Thanks Mrhide!

Firehawk734, I will PM you details on the kits that I have.  I don't have a 8" sub option but I am working on it.  The kits that I do have sound amazing but with just an average amount (and not super sub rattle) type of bass.

Monkeybug, I have some for sale.  I will post on maaca.org (and put some on EBAY actually) this weekend with details.

Thanks.
