...so the scenario goes like this.....
i just finished installing my JL VR600csi components in my 92 civic 4 door...dynamatted the doors up alittle bit, put it all back together, and went to work. it rains for like a half hour or so while i'm there. i get off and start up the car and right speaker is distorting and then i smell THE smell......... WTF?!
anyway long story short..the bitch locked up on me ....took the door panel off and water was just dripping off the the mid driver...

anybody else have a situation like this?????remedy????i guess i'm gonna have to make a little hood or something quick before my other one goes out....

all suggestions appreciated....thanks, mike

 

 

I noticed mine today. I know where the smell's coming from....I mis-mounted the door when I put it back on, so it's like 1/8 of an inch too low..heh..

 

There was water on the back of the speaker? like on the magnet/basket/driver? If so you could try making a small fiberglass box for it to seal it up (but i think you have to puncture a small hole for air) or use an XTC foam baffle ( http://www.crutchfield.com/S-k...affle ). Either one should solve the prob.

 

I ran those XTC Foam Baffles for a few years when I was into audio. They work pretty dang well.

 

yeah a good friend suggested the baffles this morning....gonna go get em and try and warranty these speakers
