Default Waterproofing speaker lids




What is everyone using to waterproof their speaker lids to keep water out of the bags? I'm using Fairing Factory lids with 2-6x9's

You might possibly think about a different amp as well. I'm thinking that amp is 4ohm ONLY for some reason and would bet u r running your lids speaks in parallel?
Not sure if it's an extremely massive deal but if RF went out of there way to put all this "4 ohm only" stuff all over their specs, certainly there is a reason.

Just trying to help bro.

Kmr-d765bt. A lot of the same features as the 998. Lower price. PM LL247. He can get you one.

Throw 2 pair of Kappas in those lids on a pn4.1000. I wanna hear the results.
