Most all name brand speakers are not paper anymore. Just look around at any
sterio store.

As for the bow, the speaker grill will keep most water out and what water
does get in won't hurt anything.

I would not get real expensive speakers thought. Because of the problems w/
vibration, moisture, heat, etc.. over time.

So really as long as they don't use paper components i shouldn't have a
problem? What about the other parts of the speaker? The two front are
positioned in the bow where it's possible they might get wet / splashed.

I need to buy new 6 1/2 speakers for my boat (2 pairs) Anyone have
any
suggestions. I dont' need components. I was leaning toward Clarion
CM1622.
Any input is appreciated!

I went with non-marine Clarions. They really thump. Since Clarion does
not
use paper components in their speakers, you will not have any problems
going
with non-marine speakers and the sound will be much better.
