How waterproof is the power switch and the amp.. My saddle bags tend to catch a little moisture. Would that hurt the amp?

The weather didnt bother neither the speakers or the amp but the riding over a year snap the stems for the speakers

You definitely do not want to get the power switch and amp wet. Any little amount of water can have an effect on your system. I wrapped my amp and switch up in plastic bag. I also put tape around the plastic bag.

Hi Claudia, Thanks for the question. The power cord is weatherproof on these Wireless Outdoor Speakers. So no worries if it gets wet. Contact AV-Express for more information.

the radio equipment all says waterproof, but, I don't think anyone can guarantee you can submerse the electronics, I can tell you that I have used the truck in wet grass in the rain and drove it through large puddles with no issues whatsoever.

My experience has not been as positive as the other responders in wet weather. The light was mounted to my seat stem and the water flung from the rear tire hit the bottom of the light and even with the rubber plug in place water gets into the light. I don't ride in rain very often (maybe 3 times over the past year), but the water has caused the electronics to corrode and the light now will not charge.

I have often left it out in the rain even plugged in. My handy outdoor extension chord threw its kill switch every time. I push the reset switch it and it starts right up.

I have never rode in the rain, and I have never heard that. It does not seem likely to me when all the electronics and battery pack is all sealed up. This bike is GREAT!!

If you are using a guitar cord from the output to the amp, you will get noise. What I do is use speaker wire which has no winding ground wrapped around the main (lead) wire. This prevents the cord from picking up outside interfernce.

I have mine mounted above my head under my plastic roof on my Ranger XP 900. They don't get too wet there, but when washing my ranger the speakers be soaked from rinsing inside the cab with a pressure washer and I've never had any problems with them. I've got 1030 miles on the ranger, have had them installed for every mile and have only blown one fuse. I've helped 3 other buddies of mine install this system on Rangers and haven't had any complaints yet.

I don't ride much in the rain, but it seems to be highly tolerant to rain, if not waterproof. There is a rubber o-ring seal on the battery pack, a rubber plug cover on charge port, the and the power switch is also rubber.

The speakers are but the AMP is not, mine has gotten wet when washing my bike on several occasions and stopped working completely. However after a day or so of drying out it worked again. Just not while it was still damp.

I think only the manufacturer will be sure about this, but it is a marine switch. I have it mounted under the hood of my motorhome where it will see moisture--so far so good. It looks to me like it is moisture resistant but probably not suitable for being immersed in water.

Mine is not waterproof. The switch is not covered and would easily leak water.

i dont see why this amp would overheat there, i know plenty of people who install amps under the seat. plus, this is smaller than most other amps, so that seems liek it would allow even more airflow around it than other amps.mine is in an enclosed area behind a panel on the side of my boot in my mini cooper, and i live in arizona. i have never had any issues.

Sounds like a good set with this amp I would bride it so all power is going to one sub but the amp isn't water resistant and I don't know much about boats and I know you can't seal off an amp because it needs air to stay cool

I don't know why mine failed, but I dont think it was due to water. I think I would of noticed excessive water puddling under my feet. One piece of advice I have to offer is get some quote from a local car audio/video shop if your worried about getting your hands into that tight tight spot. I bought the amp on amazon and a local shop installed it for $35 dollars. That $35 was the best money I've spent in a while

I really believe that its really NOT a issue........i's Only to protect the product maker......I have a MARINE 100 watts per channe AM / FM / USB l mounted in my JENSEN Marine Enclosure and have had it cranked UP with the ^Top Cover off and felt the radio and it was slightly warm......Hope that helps.......Its a Extremely Water Tight Enclosure and its mounted on my Motorcycle !

My understanding is that the internal part of the switch is waterproof. I have mine exposed to the weather, and so far no problems. Hope this helps.
