I got my speakers & they're wet on the outside. I plugged them in and still work though there is little water. Will this effect their performance?

Sounds like a leak. As long as the water isn't reaching the drivers and the wiring on the inside they should work fine. You may have to find a way to refill the water though if it leaks.

I'm not sure but there isn't supposed to be a lot of water on the inside. If water continually seems to be on the speakers one of them might be leaking. If not then you shouldn't have any problems with it hope this helped!

Yea most likely. If there is water on the outside than that means one of them Is cracked.

hi, andreas. i would not know the answer to your question. i do know that we hooked ours up to our amp as our outdoor speakers, and they have worked great. they even have good sound (in stereo). we had been using a wireless speaker, that worked half way decent half the time. these are much better than what we had, and for the price, are A-OK. best, wp

I have them installed on my boat. They really do not get direct water to them. But they do get moisture on a daily basis. They may get wet here in there when were running but that's about it. I've had no issues to date. But I'm not sure if they would work for your application. The speakers are quite heavy.

This speaker isn't designed to be exposed to direct water contact; so I would buy some waterproof speakers made for an outdoor environment. Do a search for marine speakers you will find some at a reasonable price.

These are NOT a sealed unit.....The rain would more than likely either be amplified to the point it would bother you or to a point it shut the sound off. I wouldn't use them in the rain

I don't think Bose endorses them for outdoor use. However, if you live in a moderate climate without too many extremes and shelter them from rain and direct sun, they could work. For the record, I thought about installing them on our deck (sheltered) and decided instead to go with wireless speakers that I keep indoors when not in use. Also Bose makes some great outdoor speakers that might be better suited for your purpose. I have a set that have gone through fairly extreme weather and still sound great.

I would think so. If you're worried about them getting wet these are weatherproof speakers. I've had them out through some pretty bad storms and they work just as well as they did when I took them out of the box. As for the connection if that's what you're asking I would go to a local Radioshack and see if they have the type of connector for that specific radio. I currently have them on an Insignia shelf top radio and they work amazing!! Hope this helps you out.

I don't believe these speakers were designed for outdoor use. Admitted you stated the patio was covered, but being subjected to temperature and humidity variances would make me concerned about it.Hope this helps you.

Hi Jeannette. These speakers are designed for outdoor use and are water resistant, not water proof. When properly installed the speaker(s) can withstand light showers, or water and moisture contact, as well as direct sunlight.

I haven't submerged them, but I've been in pretty bad rain... The lights themselves seem like they'd be ok. They have rubber seals, but the wiring would need to be properly prepared.

i was not happy with system at all not even close to 1000w ... the speakers have all high no low(bass)... as for wet I run them on a buggy attached to the roof.. so mine havnt seen much water

Honestly I highly doubt that any speaker is water proof maybe water resistant however I am very pleased with the speakers they sound perfect for my rear surround sound. Also these r a 4 ohm speaker set so if u r gonna use them for fronts or outside stereo sound your receiver may get hot.

Mine's ok. I don't use them as my primary speakers though and I don't mind. I'd suggest getting some good portable speakers (possibly bluetooth...).

No, you plug these speakers into a music source. That music source is what allows the water to dance.

I keep them on my patio so I have not had this problem but I have had some drop out that is fixed by 'power cycling' the speakers and transmitter to basically 're-pair' them. Pardon the pun. --Ed

Keep them out of the rain as direct sunlight. If u are living in a high humidity area, Florida, guam , the keys, I'd go for a lower quality speaker. Nothing lasts in those areas.

I would imagine that the earphones would get clammy and uncomfortable, and I would be concerned about moisture getting inside the electronics - I don't think they are waterproof.
