Is there anything that should/can be done with the Pioneers to help or avoid a water problem in the bags?? Thanks

 

Nothing permanent that I know of. Just have something handy to cover them just in case.

 

And is there something different about the BT speakers that this is not a problem with them?? Or any other recommendations?? I seem to see everyone is very happy with the Pioneers from a performance/cost standpoint, but wondering what other options are out there to deal with the water better?? thanks

 

BT speakers have the tweeter mounted in a bridge across the top of the speaker vs a stalk like most 6x9s

get a set of , a small diameter line similar to weed eater fuel line, drill a hole in the bottom of the baffle, insert and glue the line and run to bottom of bag. maybe pop a small hole for draining out the bottom of the bag.

 

I guess i still don't understand why the BT speakers don't leak as well?? and will i damage/wreck either the pioneers or BTs if they become saturated?? Looks like either way i should try and get some type of lid cover if/when i get stuck somewhere in a downpour!! thanks

 

BT speaker no stalk so sealed


Pioneer speaker with stalk so not sealed

 

The water will pool in the BT speakers because the tweeter is spurted by a "bridge". After it rains, open the lid and let the water drain out.

The Pioneer speakers have wires and a sport stalk coming through the woofer for the tweeter which will allow the water to drain into the bag.

And if something does happen to the BT speakers, they are covered under a lifetime warranty.

 

I've yet to read a single review on the HT speakers that were made specifically for the HT bag lids. They have the bridge mounted tweeter, are therefor sealed, and are guaranteed not to leak. http://www.directcycleparts.com/audi...rs-p-9569.html

 

me either.. wonder who makes them and what kind of quality?

 

UN, won't those baffles kill the response of the 6x9s though?
