good source for good motorcycle speakers?

[chico1st]

Hi I am planning to put speakers on my pedal bike. I had previously found some decent waterproof marine speakers but was told that this was overkill for going out in the rain, and the quality would be worse.
I ride in the rain, regardless of how heavy it is so i dont want some easily destroyed speaker.

I need something efficient (most important), weatherproof (2nd most important) and small/light (3rd most important). I know I wont make a system below 150hz, maybe even 300 hz.

So Ive been told motorcycle speakers are good for this but I cant find a good source for them. Does anyone know a source for motorcycle speakers or something like this?

I have discovered that car speakers are quite easy to find, can they stand direct rain?

Car speakers, no. Nothing with a paper cone.

If I were you I'd look for a local supplier who stocks Mylar cone speakers. They're generally not very efficient though, and the low frequencies aren't, very.

There isn't an easy, cheap fix that meets all your criteria.

In this country helmets are mandatory on a motorbike. Easy fix. Low profile speakers, put them in the helmet. Otherwise you'd hear nothing, with the wind noise, helmet. Don't you wear a cycling helmet? Most people do, here, now. Cyclists have an iPod or similar + in-ear phones. Traffic noise (not hearing it) can be a problem, if the phones offer good blocking of ambient. A cycling helmet makes a convenient mounting place though.
