What exactly is needed in building an audiopipe? Obviously speakers, amp, and some sort of enclosure.. but what else do you need to actually make it sound good?

I will be doing this project tomorrow and my "grocery" list if you will is going to consist of the following:
2.5ft of 6" PVC pipe
2 90* PVC Ends
1 Autozone Amp
1 Power Wire [Autozone]
1 RCA Male -> Speaker Jack Male [Radioshack]
2 Marine 6.5" Speakers
12 Bud Lights
3 Bratwursts
1 Girl In Bikini Washing Bike While I Build

Anything else I should be needing?

How is everyone mounting the speakers in the PVC ends? My speaker is just like 1/8" too big around to fit inside the pipe itself.

take and cut a ring off of the 6" pipe, put it just inside the elbow and screw it in from the sides, then mount the speaker to the ring

Yeah, I'd double the last three items on the list, it never hurts to have extra incase a friend stops over.

What about a way to mount it? You just gonna strap it down? If so already have the straps? Don't forget the paint, and speaker wire..

Has anyone tired polyfill behind the speakers to make them sound better? I know stereo shops use that trick in small boxes, the bad thing would be if it shifts and makes your amp overheat.

Very cool, thanks alot for that idea. I hadn't thought of that yet.

And MuddinMaynard, also thanks for the remembrance of the speaker wire. I had forgot about that. I have to take the amp back to AutoZone since I ordered one of those Pyramid 240watt tiny things. I plan on just bungee cording it down to my rack so that I can easily take it off and put on my friend's SXS.

I got my speakers and amp off of ebay. I ended up with Polk Audio 6.5's. They had a wider frequency range than the bazooka's, plus they are marine certified.

Amp won't get hot and yes you'll have to drill a hole or three in the PVC.

The holes will be to run the power wire and the stereo wire through to your 12v plug and iPod. Put them where you so choose.

you would seal the speakers with silicone so all you would have to do is unscrew them and give them a little tug and the silicone should break loose...depending on how strong you are you might have to eat sum wheaties lol...

Ok for some reason I'm not able to pull enough power to turn my amp on. Could it be that my 600w California Profile amp would draw too much power to even turn it on? I'm playing around waiting on my 240watt Pyramid. I have some old stereo equipment from my truck that I thought in theory would work. I had a 10" Sub and my 600w Amp out there, all hooked up to my 12v Plug and RCA-> Stereo Jack into my ipod. I couldn't draw anything to turn the amp on. I tested the outlet on my wheeler with a cellphone charger and it worked fine. Anyone know anything about this?

Did you put a "jumper wire" from the power terminal to the remote terminal on the amp? That amp is gonna kill your battery quick.

Wouldn't you want the remote wire hooked up to something that will turn off with the key so it's not a constant drain?

You can if you want to tap into your wires. I know my 12v plug on my bike doesn't work unless the key is turened on anyway. So when my key is off the amp is off.

Yessir I did. Nothing turned on. I'm hoping it's just the amp not being able to draw enough power to turn itself on. The smaller amp should be able to draw enough, everyone else is using it atleast. Maybe I'll just get a spare car battery for the subwoofers, if I decide to keep them after I relocate my rad.

I'm not getting any sound through my speakers. I have power to the amp and have tried tweaking the inputs along with all the treble and bass settings and getting nothing. What kind of chances are there that the RCAs -> Stereo Male isn't working?

I would try wireing it up directly to the battery. My outlet plug didnt have enough juice coming to it to run the radio set up I made. I wired it direct to the battery and it jams right along.

Found out my problem.. the pyramid amplifier I bought off ebay came with a ****ty fuse on the power wire. I ended up just cutting it out (have a fuse on my 12v plug) and hardwired it straight through. A buddy is coming over in a few with his soldering gun and we're finishing everything up tonight. I'll get some pictures when it's completed.

Sounds REALLY good my buddy and I think. I'm waiting on the silicone around the wires and speakers to dry so I can seal up the elbows and then paint it.

Make sure you have clean, flush cuts. I tried sanding and touching mine up with a die grinder and my buddy Doug just wouldn't stop making fun. It looks like I was drunk playing with the die grinder. Nothing a bunch of silicone can't fix up though!
