Will rust proof spray interfere with the sound? or possible ruin it?

Not if your only spraying the outside. If you spray inside you may inadvertently get spray on the diaphragm and ruin it.

NO!!! and it is annoying! I spray painted over the front edge where only the lights blip out the side. They will blind you! Does NOT go with the music either.

My suggestion would be to sand off any rust first. If its a large are then I would go Sherwin Williams for the primer and go with their recommendation for the metal primer. If its a small area then rustoleum should be fine. I would plan to apply 3 coats of Kool Seal. If you do go to the paint store then I would take the can of Kool seal with you to shake it. Its thick.

It's made if metal with a black powder coat -so yes metal will rust exposed to weather. You could try spraying with a more weather proof paint .

I haven't seen any rust issues so far. Buying better hardware certainly won't hurt anything, but I would recommend using some type of thread lubricant to protect the exposed threads as you would in any other outdoor application.

I/m not sure about rusting. I keep my grill covered. I do spray with a cooking spray.

I have mine in the house, so there is no rust. I can't comment on one that's outside.

Honestly, I'm not sure, but I would guess that it would be mostly rust-resistant. If you were to leave it outside, then to be on the safe side, you could hit it with some type of a clear coat. A spray bottle of Rustoleum or something like that would probably be the best $10 insurance policy you could buy.

Not that bad....if you have used pvc to pipe it out, find a piece of rubber to put between the pump and the pvc...that will help to lower the sound from vibrations a little....

You would have to remove the rust first with steel wool or sanding paper. If you paint over the rust it would just eat the paint away.

Usually there is some protection under the eves. As far as I can see, this unit is quite well made and well painted. I suspect you would get 10 - 12 years before rust would show.

Anything that's metal isn't rust proof, however you can have it powder coated which is a plastic type coating. That should stop the rust.

I have installed these speakers totally exposed and they have lasted several years the grills might become rusty looking depending on the area you're in

As far as I know it doesn't prevent rust, just gets rid of it which it does very well.

no, no problems of any kind, am very happy with it. have only had it for six or eight months though, which may not be long enough for rust to show up.

I would assume any padding will lessen the noise. I have this setup in garage so I can't speak from experience. Maybe someone who has similar setup to your will have a more concrete answer.

I tried the spray, and it has not lasted that long. So I think I would go brush on next time. You really need several coats I think, because what looks covered may still have enough porosity for the humidity to get behind and rust. Also, this stuff reallt smells, so I'd take it outside next time.
