Does direct sunlight and heat/humidity affect car speakers

[pearce 10+ year member]

Hi.

Recently I bought some car speakers from jb hifi, $189 rrp which is not too bad of a price, not the best quality but also better than what I used to use.

They are in a toyota carolla sea 1986 hatchback, no window tint. They are in shelves in the boot of the vehicle, and have no grills. They are always in full sunlight, as I park outside at work. And my car gets extremley hot aswell, will this excess sunlight burn the rubber or will the heat burn the rubber or something?

Specs -

pioneer ts-a5713, 5 x 7

Coaxicl 2 way, injection molded polypropylne/foam composite cone, high compliance, rolled edge, heat resistant voice coil.

Thanks.

im not sure..but just to be safe I would buy one of those sun visors for your car and put it in the back glass.

lol @ price. Yes over time they will tend to crack and deteriorate, especially cheap speakers like that. IIRC they have a really shitty foam surround, so it wont hold up as good as say a rubber surround will.

I've had my Powerbass 3XL 6x9's showing in the back deck of my car for over 3 years now with no issues, I park outside 90% of the time

gonna depend on quality of the speaker tho...like DrChronic said
