Are these speakers water proof? It says marine?

They are marine grade... that means that they are 'relatively' waterproof. I have mine in a Plymouth Prowler. They are mounted so they face towards the sky. They have been sprinkled on, and I have gotten them damp when I washed the car. They still perform flawlessly. I would think that is what you could hope for out of a speaker.

no, just built to survive in a marine environment, uv protection, butyl rubber surround, corrosion resistance...

From installing these myself in my car, I CAN tell you that the positive and negative tabs are exposed. I would highly suggest against installing these in any marine/motorcycle/outdoor environment. These are good speakers but are not listed for marine (outdoor) use.

If they have not dried completey , yes they are not water proof. When water hits it runs. Hope this helps.

Yes they are marine rated. I use them in my Jeep with no top all summer long. Work pretty good. About to install a couple on my motorcycle fairing.

yes, these are marine speakers. For Pol products, MM signifies that they are marine

I don't know for sure but I would say no they are not water "proof" but I would say water resistant

I mounted them on a motorcycle I think that they are weatherproof but I would not put them on a boat trailer and submerse them.

They are marine rated. This means they can get wet but not submerged. We installed twelve of these in our boat last year and have no complaints. Make sure you do the math on the amp so that the speakers are getting enough power.

Marine stereos like this are basically water-proof versions of car stereos. It can be used in a house if you purchase a power inverter to convert the electricity from your home's power system into the 12 volt DC current that this stereo is designed to use. When it comes to connecting speakers, it doesn't really matter. Speakers are speakers and auto speakers can be connected to home stereos and vice versa. But if your environment is wet enough to require a stereo like this then it is wet enough to require speakers that can handle the moisture as well. Marine-rated automotive speakers will probably be easiest but any outdoor/weather sealed speakers will work. Marine stereos like this are basically water-proof versions of car stereos.

Didn't buy it from me, but I've bought two pairs. First I pair I bought, were not weather proof. Second pair I bought, were weather proof. Could be matched out with a small sub. Both pair were of marine applications...sound great!

Outdoor speakers are weather resistant. NOT waterproof. They must be installed in an area that is protected from falling water. UV rays from the Sun will destroy anything it touches over time. Morning dew will not bother them. Occasional water will not harm them. But direct rain will undoubtedly harm any speakers. "Marine Grade" speakers are as close to waterproof as they come. "Marine Grade" speakers will resist a salt water environment. But even they must be rinsed off after a day at sea. My advice is that you find a place where your speakers will be protected from the rain & sun. Moisture & heat will not harm them. But direct water & direct sun will destroy anything. I live in Florida. I understand this better than anyone. Products which were advertised as indestructible, water proof, sun proof etc don't survive here in Florida. Again. Put these under an eve, overhang or other protection. Otherwise you will replace them in a couple of years.

Not sure that they are waterproof, but they are submersible. I put them on my boat trailer and they work great.

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.
