How water proof is this speaker? Can I install it behind my grill?

We have installed ours behind the grills and have not had a problem with them yet.

It's all self contained. Sealed and very water tight. Mine is mounted behind the grill, works great.

I have mine mounted directly behind the grille of my 2013 toyota and I've never had any problems with it. Works every time no matter what the weather is.

This speaker is completely waterproof, compatible with any siren unit, and can be mounted to any flat surface with the supplied mounting hardware either behind grill or in bumper etc.

I have mine mounted in the grill and haven't had any trouble after going threw a automatic car wash or heavy rain.

Hi Claudia, Thanks for the question. The power cord is weatherproof on these Wireless Outdoor Speakers. So no worries if it gets wet. Contact AV-Express for more information.

I love mine. Yes water proof. But make damn sure you don't hire an idiot to wash your bike. He power washed the speaker directly into the speaker grill. The inner cone popped loose and I asked Kuryakyn for a replacement speaker. Was told they only replace the entire unit. Looked elsewhere for one that would fit. Kuryakyn made sure it's an odd size. Got out my tools and glue gun and carefully repaired it myself.

I actually don't know the answer to your question. You will need to have a strong amplifier to drive these speakers outdoors with lots of pool activity, noise, and splashing. Mine do well, but I have them mounted on a wall underneath a patio cover near a pool. The rain will never get on them however I live in a humid area with plenty of moisture. I have heard of people mounting these on party barges. I imagine that on a boat they are bound to get wet from rain, etc.

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.

No it is not, it is water resistant, however there are some uncovered speaker holes in the bottom.

It is not an underwater speaker ! It is rather a durable weather resistant speaker that is very good so far!

The grill can rust,plus you want to keep the electrical parts of it dry.Its in your best interest to cover it.

I think it's water proof. I mounted mine on the chassis and it is working fine. Only had in use for a few weeks now.

I have never submerged it other than in a sink without an iPad in it to test its water tightness. It did not leak then. I have used it in heavy rain and in the shower and it has not leaked in those settings. The speaker grills are not open, they have membranes over them. so I think they are okay. However, I have not tried to play music through them so I cannot attest to sound quality. I like the cover.

These speakers are not water proof. You would have to look for the enclosed type with sealed in wiring

They dont claim it to be waterproof but water resistant. Yeah it is pretty resistant against water. Doesnt distort sound. I sure wouldnt submurge it though.

I would say more so than most speakers but the controls are exposed on the back. You would not want moisture to collect on the back of the unit at all. You could cover the back with a tarp or something protective but then I would expect heat to be an issue.

This is not an outdoor speaker. It is not make for any of the elements and I would not sugest that at all....it works great "inside" the home

That would depend on your vehicle make and model. For my installation the vehicle manufacturer grill went right over them despite the fact that it does make contact with the speaker centerpiece (tweeter), but it did not affect performance. I suggest you find the specs for your vehicle speaker system and compare to these. Good luck!

I say go for it ! The speakers are sealed pretty tight with the outside cover plate .

I'm not sure I would call it completely water proof, but it does keep the grill dry. If there are windy rain conditions you would have to be sure to secure the ample straps and drawstrings at the base to prevent water from seeping upward. Personally I am satisfied with the water resistance of the cover. It is better than the manufacturers cover in my opinion.
