Step 3Waterproof the cone and dome
The first time I ever did this, I skipped this part. I do not believe that it is a necessary step, but it is probably a very good idea. Without waterproofing, water could damage the speaker cone. I have had water through a bad speaker and into the electrical bits, but it was all better after it dried out.
So, find your favorite waterproofing material (I used polyurethane) and apply it to the speaker cone and dome but NOT to the rubber around the edge of the speaker which allows the cone to move. At least not to the whole thing, it's not a crime if you get a little on there.

You can buy waterproof speakers or weatherproof speakers. If you just want the speaker without an enclosure (which would probably work for this) then you can get on for a couple of pounds.
