 +**Offset Screws**
 +
 +In order to ensure that the speakers stand up when on a desk, and that they have the proper airflow required for the bass reflex, we will need to use screws to stand off the pipe flanges from their surface. I used 1/4"-20 screw through 4 of the pipe flange holes in order to maintain the proper balance. This may vary with your setup. Use whatever you feel is appropriate for your project. Make sure to use a nut to secure the screw at the bottom of the pipe flange.

 +Once you have wired up all of the circuitry and everything is working well after testing, you will want to out the finishing touches on your speakers to ensure that they stay together well. Use hot glue or tape to secure the LEDs in place along the inner edges to the pipe. Make sure not to burn yourself, and to allow the glue to dry before moving onto the next step.
 +
 +Now you may glue in place the speaker at the top of the pipe. This speaker is a tight fit into the pipe, so the glue will ensure that it lays flush with the pipe and does not come off when jostled around.
 +
 +Finally, you will want to ziptie many of your jumbled wires together to ensure a clean looking project. Use your own discretion on how much of this you want to do.
 +
 +Now you are ready to be rocking and rolling with your brand new LED speakers!
