Speakers in an uncovered Jeep

Nov 17, 2003 6 Replies

Hi all. I'm thinking about getting one of those locking consoles for in-between the front seats with the place for a stereo (since my exhaust system is quiet enough now that I'd actually be able to *hear* a stereo), but I have no idea what to do for speakers. Looks like the most cover I'll be running with on this Jeep will be a bikini top and full doors and maybe a windjammer if I can make one fit. I was thinking of going with some kind of outdoor speakers that would be ok if they got rained on. Anyone have experiences doing this and/or could somebody point me to a good source for rain/weather-proof speakers? Thank you.

Any poly propylene (sp?) speaker will do, they are the types of speakers used in boats and high-end out-door stereo's.

Although the two above poster's recommend speakers are weather/corrosion resistant they are not 100% submersible. You would still want to mount them in a somewhat protected area to avoid direct rain/water. An occasional splash of rain or a water hose won't hurt them. IMHO, being an avid boater

How about those overhead speakers that are connected to the roll bar? I have the original ones on my TJ and they have been out in a lot of rain with no problem so far (I had to drain my floor once...found those drain plugs, lol). I hear my They Might Be Giants CDs pretty well with the top off on the highway.... Tomes

Google for Babb speakers. They are commonly used on boats and are waterproof. They will even play under water.
