Can I use these on my boat with a 12V audio receiver?

If you are worried about oxidation of the aluminum grill, they will oxidize and turn to a white flaky salt.

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 use it on a 12 volt boat system. It is very bright, you need some power. I doubt what you suggest would be enough.

I don't know why not, however they are rated at a maximum of 10 Amps, which would be a total of about 1200 Watts.

Not directly, no. The receiver is only 5v so you would need an additional control that's bult to handle 12v. For my project I used a 12v variable speed control (also ordered from Amazon).

Bought for my boat worked great but got wet and now they don't work at all these were supposed to be marine /outdoor speakers

Yes I beleive you can. These are flush mount speakers, but be sure you have the space behind your mounting surface for the ported enclosure (see product image).

Yes. They are great for a boat. They rock over engine noise. A little high on treble.

Yes. My boat has an automatic on-board charger. Any 12volt automatic charger will work.

I would not put these or any conventional sub or soeaker on a boat. I would look into SpeakerCraft they make outstanding powerful speakers. Yes they will coast more but they make water proof and will last you years. Mount anything not rated for outdoor and you might get a year out of it.

Yes you can hook it straight to the boats 12 volt battery just make sure you use the included fuse.

I have them in my boat. Plenty of sound. You will need an amp to get the best out of them.

No way ! U need 300w per channel at 8 ohm to drive these beasts , unless u don't wanna use their full capacity . U can get preamp + amplifier (cerwin cv1800)... Not a receiver for these !

Yes.Use them in addition to your subs.You will need a separate amp.They are rated for 50 rms.I wouldn't go pass that.Connect them using your sub out on your receiver.

They should be fine at the beach. I use mine with my RV and there out in all kinds of weather. Amp wise running 5 sets I don't know.

I'm using these on a pontoon boat, and I just wired them to a switch on the boat, no adapter needed.

Not sure of the specification of your vintage receiver. But these speakers works with my 6 ohm output (sort of vintage as it is 15 years old now) 120 Watts per channel amplifier even if the impedance of these speakers is 8 ohms. In a nut shell if your vintage receiver is producing anywhere between 40 Watts to 120 watts , I THINK these speakers would please you. Worth a try but no guarantees.

Electrically there is no problem with any 12 vdc system. I am not to sure about the legality of using them on the road. I would at least have a separate switch for them so you can use them only when you need them. I use them on my atv and love them, lots of light.
