The other day we've shown you how customizable the pipeline seating system really is and today we're going to keep the same theme, but this time around we're adding a touch of technology to those pipes. The ikyaudio White Sea Cucumbers audio speakers are made from PVC and are available for just $199. In case white isn't your color then those Sea Cucumbers can come in red or yellow too. Inside each pipe you'll find a 3-inch magnesium/aluminum alloy full range driver, and you can expect a frequency response of 80-20,000 and the bass port is at the end of the pipe stand. The speakers are non-powered which means an additional amplifier may also be required. Before making up your mind, check out the video clip after the break showing these pipe speakers in action.
