My budget stereo build.

Just ordered the PYLE MP3 Amplifier and 2-PYLE 6.5" marine speakers today from dunertunes.com for $89.99 and will be building a box for the speakers to go in soon. Will post pics when everything comes in. Hoping that when all is done i will have around $150 in the whole setup. I plan on just using my phone for the music, but the amp will work with anything that has a headphone jack. Here is a link to the kit i bought if anyone else is cheap like me and might be interested lol. Also if you already have speakers you want to use, you can buy that amp off amazon.com for $49.95.

I have the same set up bacon with 4-6.5s The set up is loud but needs a sub.

Good to hear, you think the 2 speakers will be enough for mine? Im not looking for anything real loud just enough for me to hear it over the engine noise. Glad you said that tho, makes me feel better bout that setup which for the price is hard to beat.

X2, I only have 2 speakers hooked up though. I still haven't figured out where to put the other 2 yet. It works nicely.

I think you will like it. All four of mine are in the roof.

lots of people are running that setup.

i got the speaker box from EMP and a marine stereo and it sounds great. stick an SD card in and you got music. about 175$ in the setup and i have 2 extra speakers that came with the stereo to put somewhere.

Sounds like you came out pretty good on your set-up. Ill have to try and find that box by EMP, all the boxes i have seen so far are outrageous on the price.

Thank you. If i could get them to make me one without the cut out for the headunit that would be perfect.

I used an 8" long piece of 6"pvc pipe i had laying around to mount my 6.5 speakers and used 2 muffler clamps to mount them to my cage between the seats sounds great and only got about $3 in it.Painted the pipe and clamps silver,everyone asks where I bought my speaker pod they didnt think it was just pvc pipe.

I am not trying to belittle you but I have to ask how you have it wired?

All I tried was grounding it and putting the hot wire to the + side of battery just to try it out

Hum.... Red is from the battery, blue is to ignition or switch then ground.

Want to make sure your wire is not skinned anywhere and accidentally touching metal. If it is, it will pop a fuse everytime.

Called and talked to duner tunes yesterday and they are sending me a new one, so hopefully this one is good to go.
