[QUOTE="63mopar, post: 2503374, member: 553574"] This might be a good place to post this. The other day I had to pull one of my midbass drivers out of my door. When I pulled it out I saw the backside was wet. Not just damp but had droplets of water all over the magnet and the back of the cone. At first I wondered if water had gotten inside the door some how but the rest of the door was dry. So it left me wondering what had happened. So I sat back and thought about it for a minute and figured it out. The night before it was about 40 degrees out but the humidity level was right around 85 to 90 percent all night. When I started working on my doors it was about 50 with 60 percent humidity. The door I worked on was facing the sun so the outer side of the door was warm and the air inside the door had warmed up also. The woofer was still cold so it acted just like a mirror in the bathroom when you shower. All of the warm moist air condensed on the magnet and cone. I thought about baffles but I think this would just take longer for the speaker to dry out since there was not an air movement around the speaker keeping it wet longer. I post this here because I think the most water comes from situations like this and not actual rain or snow. [/QUOTE]
