is this box water proof?

Basically the answer is no because there are no seals to prevent water from getting in. It could be considered water resistant if rain is falling down on it with the lid closed, but not if water is sprayed sideways onto it where water can get under the lid.

I haven't had any rain in my area. BUT, I've hosed the box down to get rid of the dust and nothing inside got wet. I would say that the box is fairly waterproof IF you assemble it correctly and be sure to have the parts snapped together.

Absolutely. Otter Box is first class protection. The case is not water proof.....but it's not supposed to be

I have not tried it, but it is sealed with o rings, so it should be water proof to a point. i'm sure it was not made to use under water.

It is water resistant but not water proof. So I would say the answer to your question is no.

yes, but I have only had this box assembled and outdoors for a few weeks. it also seems to do a great job of keeping out water as it is dry inside and we have had lots of rain

Definitely. It's an excellent box! Waterproof too. I love the smell of it - cedar.

I don't know if it is water proof. I'm traveling so cannot take a look; it's at my home and also is tested but not yet installed.

I wouldn't call it waterproof at all. It's basically the same thing as a large tool box. Water won't pour in when closed, but would not consider it waterproof.

No. Control box and/or lights are NOT water proof. I've tried sealing them... but the materials used in their manufacturing and shipped are not par, for upgrades.

Hi - the box is wood, as you know, but its not water tight. I would imagine in a heavy storm it would get water. We keep ours under the deck in a sheltered place so really don't know for sure. It's a lovely box that's for sure!

It is NOT waterproof. As far as leaving outdoors, I would not think that would be a problem. The top fits covering over the sides of the tops of the box so in a boat it should be ok as long as it is not submerged in water.

The short answer to that question is: yes. This box is water tight and thus has a compartment full of air. You should be fine.

I have one. Although I wouldn't call it waterproof it is in a secure plastic box.

No. Though the box is cedar, the top consists of two boards, slightly separated. I would be afraid of rain or melting snow leaking in.

No, I do not not believe this is waterproof. Since the Smashbox is closed with only a zipper. I have, on occasion, put it in a ziploc bag, so the moisture from a hot shower does not get in to the speakers. It muffles it only a little bit. I hope this info helps you in your decision.

The description on Amazon does not say that it is water proof so I doubt it.
