Do these have to be soldered together??? I will be using them underneath my pontoon boat, so the have to be waterproof.

No they are just a 4 pin connection on both sides but if you are using them under water they will need to be waterproofed.

John, I used them to join 2 strips for a long run i don't think they will take the heat, could use srink tubing and cover it with marine grade epoxy, that might work(?)

The answer is between probably not and definitely not. The cabling and the battery are all inside the 'Weatherproof' case. The unit itself may be waterproof but the connections (wires to transducer and battery) would not be happy submerged in saltwater. If the whole thing took a dunk you would want to wash it all off with freshwater and check everything. Too much time if it happens every trip. I would opt for something more self contained.

The LED's themselves are enclosed in a sealed plastic tube. I cannot say they are 100% waterproof, but I don't think it can get much better. I found them to be a good product and work well.

Yes. As long as you heat shrink the connections. I'm have mine installed on a boat. They get wet all the time.

I don't think that they would hold up for that. They have a silicone sleeve to protect them from mild wet conditions, but prolonged exposure to water or fully submerging them is probably going to cause damage. The controller, connections, and power supply are definitely NOT waterproof.

On my pontoon they fit and bolted together fine..does not interfere with cover..I have five installed and plan on getting three more..

Waterproof implies you could submerge the speakers - you can't. I would prefer to describe them as "weatherproof". Just be sure to install them in a way which does not allow water to mass into the open end of the speaker component of the bullet. I've used mine in all kinds of weather and haven't had an issue with the bullets exposed on my FLHRC.. I would not consider the amp weatherproof at all - it needs to be in a weatherproof bag or shell...

I would not put these or any conventional sub or soeaker on a boat. I would look into SpeakerCraft they make outstanding powerful speakers. Yes they will coast more but they make water proof and will last you years. Mount anything not rated for outdoor and you might get a year out of it.

Yes and they are ultra low profile with a ton of flood light output at night. Use mine for our boat at night. Actually just used them tonight out on the lake. Don't know if they are waterproof or just water resistant. I dont submerge them.

i would not put them in water ,they are water proof out side but because the wires are so thin they could short out. also i don't think the backing would hold up well.

No, they need to be soldered . programing card not necessary but I would recommend it

I would doubt they're "waterproof". You an disassemble them easy enough so you might be able to make them waterproof with the help of a little silicone sealant. 3M makes a silicone spray (very thing) so conceivably you could just spray each one with the 3M stuff and you're good. I will add our kids have loved these - especially at night when they're cruising fast they look really cool. Batteries lasted just under a year for us. I believe we bought a package deal that came with 3 sets.

Yes they are water proof. You can get longer cables if you need them. Don't cut the ones that come with it. It will not work

I actually don't know the answer to your question. You will need to have a strong amplifier to drive these speakers outdoors with lots of pool activity, noise, and splashing. Mine do well, but I have them mounted on a wall underneath a patio cover near a pool. The rain will never get on them however I live in a humid area with plenty of moisture. I have heard of people mounting these on party barges. I imagine that on a boat they are bound to get wet from rain, etc.

I would think so. If you're worried about them getting wet these are weatherproof speakers. I've had them out through some pretty bad storms and they work just as well as they did when I took them out of the box. As for the connection if that's what you're asking I would go to a local Radioshack and see if they have the type of connector for that specific radio. I currently have them on an Insignia shelf top radio and they work amazing!! Hope this helps you out.

Not sure that they are waterproof, but they are submersible. I put them on my boat trailer and they work great.

These units are not waterproof. They are sealed fairly well and might hold up as long as they don't get wet.
