A few weeks ago i fitted some 6 1/2 inch JBL's in the doors of my 98 Turbo, to get them to fit i had to cut off the original water shields but now im finding water is getting onto the speekers.
Has anyone got any ideas on what i can use as water shields ?
apart from taping plastic bags to the back of the speekers (not very acousticly freindly ) im all out of ideas.

It's a bit "blue peter", but you can make something out of a plastic bottle that sits above the speaker inside the door. Attach it with duck tape

I had the same problem, lucky my pioneers are poly-propyl-sommat. Still, I did'nt like the fluffy mould that grew on my home made MDF pods

Problem fixed by using flowerpots with the bottoms cut off Not sure if its the best solution in terms of sound quality though(resonance etc). Although I don't notice

Another vote for flower pots!! Easy to cut, cheap, taper in nicely around the speaker and available in many sizes.
