[QUOTE="budahbuddy803, post: 8489177, member: 566041"] I have ruined a set of ID CX62s due to the water that gets in my doors when it rains. It seems to be a little bit of a bigger issue on the driver side than it does on the passenger side, but both speakers were damaged. I took pictures a while back, but they shouldn't be needed because I am sure that's the issue. When I removed the driver side mid, there was water damage on the cone and the coils didn't have any resistance. I tore it apart and there was water on the voice coil. I ordered the XS65s and put them in for two days while I was waiting for some cheap Daytons to run. In those two days, there was already a small amount of water damage to the center of the cone on the driver side. I am running cheap Daytons now because I need to fix the water issue so I don't keep running through mids. The Daytons last because the cone isn't a paper material. What is the best way to protect mids from water? I know they have those XTC or whatever things you can mount behind the driver, but I have read that they give a negative effect on sound. The thing I don't understand is that the water drains from the doors (no standing water or anything), but I guess the moist, humid environment causes the issue. Anyone else have this problem and fix it or have any suggestions to mitigate this issue? Maybe some cheap plastic Tupperware on the back side? I feel that will negatively effect the sound as well.
