Default yellow baskets in all 3 holes?

Who here runs yellow baskets in two or three holes? I just did a run to nelson and Saturday it poured all day and was thinking of my speakers getting wet. How do they hold up in the rain? I usually don't ride in rain but bike was outside all day in it

they are treated for weather, I've been in the rain with mine, and they have been fine, you obviously won't want to run them at high volume when they're still wet

I have seen many a Harley owner running to their bikes to cover them when a sudden rain storm happens. All because their $3,000 stereo they installed is not built for motorcycles (or boats) and will be ruined in the rain. Never worries about that on my 1989 or my 2002 UltraClassic models. My 2019 FLHTP doesn't have a radio or speakers.

I've ran a myriad of speakers on my bike, that were either waterproofed or just sprayed with Camp Dry. I play mine in the rain and have never had to run, to protect it.

Currently 10 speakers, 3 amps and a dsp.
