would you b using the speaker?Originally posted by ch33.thao View Posthey guys i was wondering how safe is it to have a speaker showing in the bumper like how you would just drill a big hole through it and screw in the speaker with the rain in all and also would that be legal???? -
You'd probably have to take the bumper off. I don't know of any drill bits or keyhole saws big enough, so you'd have to use a saw to get a hole that big. You could probably use marine speakers, since they're used for boat applications. And I don't see why it would be illegal??Comment

so you're making the first ever CB7 ice cream truck? noiiiiiice, brah.
i'd be worried about someone wanting to steal the speaker. you know, with it hanging out in the open like that.My pictures/photos will return soon...Comment

You could use marine speakers, and get plastic baffles that are made for the speaker to fit into. That way they are protected on the backside from the elements. Remember that marine speakers are always, or should be, mounted in locations where only the front side would get wet. The backside is not made to be subjected to water directly. Just coated to handle humidity pretty much. If you damage your speaker, you could end up damaging whatever amp or headunit is powering it too.Comment

its better to just wire up a bullhorn to your stereo, and yes its legal just be able to turn it off
They rise their wooden pints and they yoik and sing
And they fight and dance 'till the morning
Dont forget my MRT for my 1992 Honda Accord LX

Make sure it's a marine speaker or a bullhorn type, and hook up a switch to it!Comment

just cause its a marine speaker doesnt mean its going to be waterproof. you still have to make sure your wires coming from your headunit are sealed.

Not street legal, I think its a noise violation but I'm not sure.Originally posted by ch33.thao View Posthey guys i was wondering how safe is it to have a speaker showing in the bumper like how you would just drill a big hole through it and screw in the speaker with the rain in all and also would that be legal????
Your best bet is to use a horn type speaker.Comment

There fixed it.Originally posted by sonikaccord View Post
OP, you should check your local laws about doing it. Cutting and drilling holes in your bumper could be seen as weakening your bumper and be an equipment violation. I've seen people get tickets for much less, such as cutting a hole in their bumper for a CAI...Comment

I still agree with the correction.
