can water damage a speaker(s)?????
i have this posted in the electrical forum.. but just wanted more input:
the question may sound stupid... but im oddly curious b/c i currently have my door panels off and doing some interior work.
A civic has many flaws... and im not surprised this is one of 'em... it was raining oneday and i noticed water dripping through in between the window and into the interior door panel..... i didnt think much of it b/c it's a civic...
...so, today, i went through a car wash... more water came through the window and into the interior door area... and i noticed that the water was dripping over the speaker on the door.... now, it's a stock speaker, so i dont really give it that big of a deal... but im going to switch to kenwood speakers in a week or two....
so im wondering.. is that normal..? b/c i sure heck dont think so... so is there a way to protect the back part of the 6.5in round speakers??? or do i just do nothing and let water drip on it the next time it rains.....??????

Re: can water damage a speaker(s)?????
I have searched forever for baffles that would protect the back of the speaker (almost would be like a cup that the speaker would sit in) but have never found anytyhing.

Honda developed their doors to allow a certain amount of moisture to accumulate in the door to allow lubrication for the speaker to move freely in its enclosure.
