Do these horns handle water from underwashing and rain/road splash, well?

Yes. Mine are mounted very low on a 356 Porsche and have been drenched with no problems.

I know this is an old question, but I wanted to post this in case new people are viewing. The screws on the hella supertones are not stainless. If you live in an area that salts the roads, they WILL corrode and look terrible after a while. I just removed mine yesterday after only having them for two years. I'm re-ordering them because I like the horns, but will be changing out the assembly hardware with stainless steel bolts.

Hi Henry,I've had these horns on my car for several months now and haven't had any issues. I've had my car through the car wash a couple of times and summer rain storms, so far so good. Mine are mounted and attached to the crash bar.

Oh yeah its great I wash my car every week and spray the horns down and it still works

They seem the same as OEM car/motorcycle horns. My motorcycle has seen washings and rain repeatedly with no issues.

Handles fine.. just face the trumpets down toward ground because you dont want water build up in horns.

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.

I have them on my sxs and they are doing great they have gotten wet and are still loud as heck.

Mine are within my sprinkler coverage, plus the rain and are fine. The only caution I would point out is if the sprinklers are aimed directly into the side of the speaker that could be a problem. My sprinklers are aimed high enough that they shower down on the speakers. Also I need to mention that I have replaced each of my speakers after around 5 years. I believe it's more due to the hot southern sun than water. For the price they have excellent sound. Hope this helps.

They are not waterproof, but they will handle light roadspray. Since I use them for commuting with dress clothes, I take plastic grocery bags and enclose anything that is inside of the pannier. I have had a few instances when going through puddles of water, that water has managed to get inside. They dry out quickly, so at the end of the day, they are not soaking wet for the next ride. I hope this helps answer your question.

Not sure because I have never dropped them in the water or had them in the rain, however I do believe they would be waterproof by the way they are made. Sorry I could be of know more help to you in this matter.Regards,Terry L. Shook

I don't know if they were designed to be waterproof, but I used them outside in the rain and had no problems.

I don't know about water proof. By they can withstand being outdoors. I've got mine in the front of my boat on the railing. They get splashed on lightly and rained on. They work and sound pretty good

So far they are. I washed my bike a couple of times since I installed them. I Mage effort to not get them wet just in case.

Yes we have had them on while riding and caught in the rain. We had no break up in service or any evidence of damage from the moisture.

I ordered these speakers and mounted them under my pontoon boat. My pontoon has a great amount of speed for it has an inboard/outboard motor. Because of this, these speakers get extremely wet and still perform well. I am not sure about humidity within a shower but as far as getting wet, they should perform well.

I think they would perform fine in that situation. Just keep an eye out for corrosion. Salt water can corrode things that you wouldn't believe it could.

I haven't had any problems driving in the rain with them, I have actually submerged them to load a boat on my trailer and they are still working fine. they are also really bright, I'm very happy with them, only problem I had was the plate holder was cheap plastic and broke so I mounted the plate to the fender but the lights are great

I have ridden it during rain and wet trails and it works fine. I don't think its submergible though.

I've had 2 of them. One on a Nissan frontier and current one on a full size ford. Never had an issue with water either from rain or car wash.

It has rained since we have installed these but not a heavy rain. But so far, they are fine. They are very heavy duty. I think they will be water safe.
