Is it normal for the front doors of my wrx to get water in when its raining??
I'm thinking of fitting new front door speakers, but wondered if theres anyway to stop them getting wet??

Any help would be great-Thanks

Yes it is normal. But you´ve got holes on the bottom end so that it can get out too.
Normally the speakerrings got something like a roof. Unless the speakers are designed not to fail if some water appears to them. I´ve seen speakers working after heavy water-meeting ...some rust on the chassis, still working. So don´t worry!

I made a splash guard out of thick duct tape; I made a curved covering, which just went on the top of the 'speaker rear if that makes sense.

I didn't bother with the rears though, mainly as the 'speakers I used were quite cheap, and I never sit in the back anyway!

Thanks for the replies, it was starting to bether me as I'm fitting some 6500's soon, and didnt want them dieing on me!

ru-- does the "shield" you make vibrate or distort any?

No, it's acoustically invisible (to my ears anyway) - if you check the FAQ you'll see my pitiful first attempt using a halfrauds bag. Now that was audible...
