Nice install pictures... Good Job!

 

looks great, how did you attach the speakers to the pvc cap?

 

looks like the extra 6" pvc and the cap being mated together created a flat and wide enough surface to just screw into.

 

With four stainless screws, screwed into the 1.5" piece of 6" pipe I glued to the inside of the cap

 

great looking end result!

 

Navy that's exactly how it worked out.

Thanks for the compliments!

 

Where did you mount the amp? What do you use for a music source and how do you keep it dry?

 

Looks good

The amp is mounted above the steering wheel and under the dash on a all flat area. It's a "water proof" amp so I figured this would be the best spot.

You can use any iPod, iPhone , or anything with a 3.5mm jack to source the music. The amp comes with a water proof pouch for your device that's perfect for atv riding.

I have a life proof case on my iPhone so it's Already waterproof and I just plug it in.

Great set up!

 

Am I understanding this right?...no head unit needed at all??

 

I have the lifeproof case as well.
You have any pics of how the amp is mounted or where you have the jack running out?

What amp is it? Have a link?

 

I'm working now so I'll take some pics tomorrow of the amp.

I didn't wanna drill any holes for the audio jack so it's zip tied nicely under the dash. I just reach under, connect the wire and I'm done.

 

I uploaded a pic of the amp and its package.

I bought it on ether eBay or amazon. Don't remember.

 

Cool thx!
On another note. Found the amp on amazon.com for $45 but the .com won't ship to Canada..... On the amazon.ca its $77..... Wtf.... Another example of Canadians getting the short end of the stick

 

Wow that stinks :-/

 

Looks nice!!

 

I did the samething with the caps but I mounted mine under the dash in the corners above your feet. Used a u-bolt to mount them to the bar that run underneath the dash.

 

That sound like a good idea, any pics?
How does that work out with the glovebox?

 

I don't have a glove box, I dought it would work with one. I'll get some pics and post them when I get home.

 

Great job thanks for sharing. The final product looks awesome.

 

I wanted some music for the trails but considering how much some of these systems cost I decided to go the less expensive route. Here's what I used

-Plye hydro 2ch amp(iPhone as music source) comes with a dash mounted volume control, waterproof phone pouch, and all wires.
-note many reviews talk bad about this amp lacking power but there's a clear rubber cover on the side that allows you to turn up the gain and let me tell you, when turned up my neighbor two houses down can here my speakers loud and clear! Not bad for $45!! It plays loud over all engine and trail noise!!

2-6" PVC pipe end caps w/1.5" of 6" pipe cut and glued into the cap then cut off smooth
2-6.5" mtx marine speakers(best fit)

24' of marine black 18ga speaker cable
Stainless bolts to attach to cage w/washers, lock nuts and rubber bushing(between PVC and cage)

Maybe this will help someone looking to do a budget speaker in stall

I really like what you did. I'll be able to sell my wife on this. She freaked when I said systems were $500 plus. What did you use to paint the PVC red? It looks really good.

Hope this works, here is the pics of my pvc speakers mounted under the dash

 

I started off trying to match the stock red with different automotive base colors but it got expensive. Believe it or not after priming the PVC I found a plastic paint at lowes that matches to a tee! I spray paint the pieces then mix up automotive clear and harder and spray the part

 

Did you have to do anything to prep the caps before painting?

Thanks, I really like the red. You did a great job.

Nice looking install! And a great idea! How are the speaker dynamics with the PVC enclosure?

 

I have the same amp (4 channel), I mounted it in the front under the hood. Put 2 speaker under dash and 2 Pyle wakeboard speakers in the back. I didn't speakers in my ears, so I put on back of the cage near back.

 

Thanks mrH.

EZ the setup does lack some bass but still sounds great, considering the money spent I'm really happy. It's no JL audio system but it gets the job done perfectly. Highs sound good. Lows are noticeable.

Stac your rzr looks great. That's a good idea for mounting!
