[QUOTE="Anniku989, post: 4069280, member: 581280"] Due to a unforeseen circumstance last night, I had to take my subs out (Filming, and it sucked a 10page packet stapled together into the box). To my dismay, I looked at the subs, and the whole back of the motor which used to be shiny chrome, was covered in rust spots. The whole motor/boot was covered in water droplets from condensation, as well as water spots on the bottom of the box (meaning it's been happening for awhile). The voice coils looked a darker purplish color, but everything sounded fine after wiping them down, warming them up, and playing them. Now the rust spots don't really surprise me, as the pole vent on the motor was raw material, and not covered. I did take the boot off, and scuff pad the rust off, and put a nice thick layer of wax on everything, hoping to protect the bare metal. I honestly wouldn't have noticed anything if I didn't take them out, they sound just like they had when I got them this summer. Although they seem to play fine, this still worries me. Any suggestions on what to do to prevent this? Shall it be alright for the speaker? [/QUOTE]
