    Hello everybody,

    I have a 2008 Kawasaki Concours 14 (it's a bike not a car)

    I have fited 2 speakers with a hidden amplifier. It was doing great until my last wash.. Some water went into one of the speaker and it fried..

    I am looking then to replace it.

    Its a 4 Ohms, 8 watts, 3 or 3,5 inch wide..

    Do you know where I can get that??

    Thanks for your help

    like he said "marine" and even with those, tri not to get water in/on them. it would probably help if you seal the back of the speakers off real good too. gl

    Thanks for your quick and accurate answers...

    From what I see from the links you gave me, I feel those 3,5 inches speakers are too big..

    The old speakers seems to be more 3inches..

    Measuring the diameter from holes to holes = 78mm

    3inches speakers are more difficult to get...

    Hey guys

    I made a mistake in saying in my last reply that its 78mm wide.

    I was in Ireland and my speaker was in France so I wrote by memory

    Now I am back in Paris and I did the measurement again

    Here is the answer

    Around 85mm = 3,33 inches

    So is it a 3 or 3,5 inches speakers???

    I am quite lost there

    THanks for your answer....

    yeah and as i previously said it's giving me 3,33 inches

    :)

    However i got the thing sorted. Its a Tang Band 3 inches speakers.

    Found some replacement parts for it.

    Just a question about the material used to it

    There are some available with PP or Paper cone ..

    Which one is the best one for a motobike? I mean against humidity..

    Merci
