Buy Gr8! Exceeded Expectations

I was doing research on building an audio tube for the A-pillar on my ATV and decided to give this kit a try. The Pyle 4 channel kit on the Pyle website was MSRP 277.00 at the time of my purchase and was available on Amazon for $97 with loose change. Arrived within a week from Amazon and was very carefully packaged with all items in separate boxes for protection. Everything in the kit was labeled and basically self-explanatory for installation and wiring. The only thing I needed was a longer power and ground wire and an extra speaker wire. Worth its price and size, the amp mounts in my 3.5β€³ wide PVC pipe, almost 7β€³ long. I had to fiddle with the gain setting to get what I wanted because the factory settings were too quiet and I only wanted to use 2 of the 4 speakers that came with it. Before installing and sealing everything in the PVC pipe, I hooked it up to the car battery to make all the adjustments a bit easier. The best thing about this kit is that it came with a chord volume knob of about 6ft so you could mount it basically anywhere and the aux input cable was a little short but it still had a detachable foot screw so you could do that Mount secondary cables entry where you want it, drill exactly one inch hole and look really professional. The kit also includes another auxiliary cable that connects to the one you installed and is about 4 feet long. The waterproof pocket is another plus, so with the waterproof cable you plug into the amp, you can keep an MP3, phone or whatever with an extra output in the pocket. My entire sound tube on my quad is made from this kit and three 22 degree 6 inch PVC pipe fittings and about two feet of 6 inch PVC that I cut out for the couplers. The only wires I have outside of the PVC are power and ground and my auxiliary chord when plugged into the installed aux chord jack. And I drilled a hole in the board to install the volume knob. I have friends who paid over $300 for a kit that doesn't sound like it and is still PVC and I have exactly $140 for the whole kit. very happy with this kit. My only suggestion is to adjust the gain to your liking. also played music from my phone on this kit for about 3 hours without my honda rancher engine running and didn't bother battery charging at all. it started immediately with no consequences. I think this kit would be perfect for boats and river coolers. My buddies are already asking me to do some sets for them. I will buy this kit. hope this helps everyone.
