Gold Member Username: FishyTamarac Ft.Laud, FL USA Post Number: 1423 Registered: Sep-04 | Yeah I do, but as a boat captain I've seen what the marine enviroment can do to electronics. I've seen so called "marine" speakers give up the ghost rather quickly. I do have an old 10" Babbs metal cone sub I've yet to play around with. I still don't think it'd last to long, at least in saltwater.  -Fishy |

I had a pair of 4" Babbs which sounded pretty "tinny" so I'm not sure how good the sub would sound. Its an old design so probably would require a pretty large enclosure, like 1.5 ft^3. -Fishy |

Gold Member Username: FishyTamarac Ft.Laud, FL USA Post Number: 1425 Registered: Sep-04 | I thought they utilized a steel cone but as it appears to be anodized it may just be aluminum. Lemme dig mine out and look. :P -Fishy |
