Are you learning? Foam surrounds in many auto speakers won't last against salt
water.

Gee I never said FOAM , I said Rubber as in Butyl . Read O.P. Foam on
interior house speaker is crap, UV in a house will trash them in 7 yrs,
in a car even less, on a boat I wouldnt think of foam. Ive paid to much
over the years only replacing Foam surrounds. Your high quality car
speakers are Not foam surrounds. Foam is not UV and heat stable, and is
fragile.

You don't know much about speakers. My Snells are among the better speakers
around. They have foam surrounds. So do my old Snells, which are over 10 years
old. The foam is perfect. My Carver's ribbon panels have 6 12 inch subs with
foam surrounds...all perfect after 9 years. My Royd Conistan R's, also among
the better speakers in the world...foam surrounds.
Shall I go on?
Interesting that my NEW B&W center channel (CDM series) says to keep moisture
away from the cone.
Come back when you can purchase a clue someplace. My suggestion is to stop
reading Stereo Review.

Only if you buy cheap speakers. I had a pair of JBLs with foam surrounds that
fell apart as well as a pair of bargain Heybrook HB-1s. Interesting that none
of the really high end speakers had a problem.

dont read that magazine My Tannoys, Urei 809 and JBL are fine, Sun
affects them . Id suggest you get on track . You assumed I meant foam
for car and marine.
