Audio Experts,need 3" full range speakers

[singlehum]

Looking for some help from the audio experts here. I need to find a pair of 3" full-range speakers (4 ohm, 25 or 30 watt) for a project, preferably that will tolerate moisture (marine speakers?). Anyone know where I could source these? Thanks.

For starters, avoid anything with a paper cone; polypropylene or aluminum would be preferred. These cones will hold up against moisture but aren't waterproof. Here are the PartsExpress candidates with non-paper cones and 4-ohm impedance. Then there's Madisound, That's a list of all their 3" full-rangers, so you'd have to sort through for non-paper, 4-ohm models.

One that's sure to meet your needs (waterproof, 4 ohms) is the Aquatic AV AQ-SPK-3.0 at $26 each. As the brand-name implies, these are designed and built for aquatic duty.

Since the Aquatic AV 3-incher's bass response stops at 120 Hz, you might want to consider one of their marine subwoofers to add an octave to the bottom.

Cool, thanks, Johnny B. As always, you are a wealth of audio knowledge!
