I'm thinking about throwing together a pair of super-cheap 2-ways for my bathroom, and if I like them, I may build another pair for outdoor speakers.
My plan is to use a plastic or aluminum dome tweeter, and a poly bass driver with a rubber surround. I can do a sealed enclosure to keep moisture out of the crossover and backside of the drivers. Is there anything else in particular that I should be aware of when building for a moist environment? |

At least protect your wood from absorbing water with time. A mini plastic horn ( not the piezos, the real tweeter
Or a cheap bandpass subbox togheter with metallic fullrange units like tangband features. Forgot the link : Tang Band |

Some car speakers are specifically built to resist condensation.

Well if it's only for bathroom you can buy some mylar fullrange and midrange speakers and tweeters which are water resistant,with abs plastic frames,rubber surrounds.
Or for outdoors--Selenium makes a drivers in their professional pa range made of Quartz Composite Fibre which are water resistant,UV resistance. Well if it's only for a bathroom a sealed moulded plastic enclosure or plexiglass enclosure sealed, dampened with silicon rubber using mylar speakers,a tweeter and fullrange speaker with a simple 1st order x over would be fine.But the cables going to the speaker would have to be water resistant and have the amp in some dry- moisture free place of course .And the connections to the speaker enclosure should be of a metal which does NOT rust in damp/wet conditions. |
