I have been told by a few people that you can spray scotch guard on non-marine speakers to make them totally waterproof....Is this true? has anyone out there tried it?? i have a pair of 3-way sony explode 6x9's....

As long as the cones aren't paper this should ok <BR>I actually spray 303 on my MBQ's. Now, when <BR>they get wet (especially when washing the boat) <BR>I just play them and the beads of water practically jump right off!

i dont think that the cones are paper...they look like plastic or something...i think they are made out of poly....something..so scotch guard will work? or the 303? what is that and where can i get it? <BR>thanks

Poly cones do not need anything as they are waterproof. You have to worry about the wires and getting water in the gap to the voice coils. <BR>sandy, You spray 303 even on the tweeters?

so can i spray scotchguard on the whole speaker (tweeter, voice coils and everything) to make it totally water proof??

Try spraying scotch guard on a piece of paper, let it dry and see what happens. If it cracks, then you will have a problem. If not then you should be OK. I never thought of this but if it works, then it's a great idea...

No, the tweets are separate and since they are <BR>titanium I didn't think it was at all necessary <BR>Plus they are so sensative I thought a coat of anything might just deaden the sound a little.

so there is no way i can make non-marine speakers totally water proof?? Bob-just spray scotch guard on a piece of paper, and as long as it does crack will it is just laying there still it would be cool??

the best way to protect your speakers is to buy good quality poly cones, not paper. paper won't last long even with scotchguard if that does work. <BR> <BR>i'm not so sure that marine speakers are even totally water-proof, just water resistant.

for the price of marine speakers, you can buy two pairs of poly speakers and sound better.
