outdoor / waterproof speakers
« on: November 01, 2008, 02:36:31 PM »
I'm looking to place some fairly inexpensive outdoor speakers in the back of my samurai.  I leave the top off so they need to be true 'outdoor' speakers.  Something kind of small so they can be mounted on the rear fenders (I'm thinking box type, enclosed speakers). 

Looking on-line all I find are outdoor patio speakers… I'm not sure but isn't their an Ohm difference between house speakers and car speakers?  The patio speakers are probably also not designed for all the ruff handling they will get in a sami!

Any ideas!?!?!?

Thanks
Rodney

Check at a Marine/Boat shop.  They should be able to hook you up, my brother used them in his Sammy back before he sold it.

i had mine under my dash they were boat speakers i got out of a boat my friend just bought. i submerged them alot and they always worked very well.  oneday some one at the beach decided they needed my radio and speakers more than me. it was nice of them to at least use dikes and not to steal the cooler full of coronas in behind the seat

 but jokes on them because the radio had a security code you had to enter when it loses power.

They have some real nice ones at the ski resorts. I think they are made by Bose, but they are attached to the trees, lifts, and the outside of the lodge. They must be made pretty well, as they sound great and hold up to sub zero temperatures, as well as rain and other outdoor weather 8)
Runnin' it stock with 225/75R15s and an unmodified 8valve TBI motor (I need a doug thoroley header and a cam) (more power) (1.6 liters of madness) (vroom + sewing machine sounds)
