anyone know where i can get an amp for an audio pipe? the speakers i am looking at are rated for 100 watts each. so a 200 watt 2 channel amp would be perfect. or something a bit lower.

i think i found a boss one that will work. i just got to measure my front rack to see how big i should build this thing.

I ended up getting a Clarion Marine amp, like 360 or 380 watt for the 2 8" "Tubbies" that I got.. Bridgable and crossover built in...
Put the amp in that diamond plate box I got and mounted the speakers on top of the box....

ok thanks. still not sure if i am going to build it or not. we have to wear helmets here and i have exhaust so i imagine it is going to be a little hard to hear.

what about when there are like 5 quads around you? and at 30 miles an hour? we ride pretty fast.

That little one I have on the 700 that is the same as the BOSS audio pipe from atvaudiopipe had a little 80 watt amp in it and I could hear it fineonce I had it grounded right!!!!
It came with a lighter plug that broke the first time I used it so I wired it straigh and put ends on it to unplug it and just didnt have the ground right on it...
I get to where it feels like I'm missing something when I dont have some tunes now!!!
