Hey US1, did they affect the speaker at all? Does the LED strip interfere with the speaker at all?

Kinda the same question, doesn't the light move at all from the vibration?

How did you get the strip adhere to the back of the grill, just the adhesive that's on the back of the strip or did you use anything else?

thanx

They are attached with the strip attached double sided tape. Guess I shoulda been more clear on install. They aren't attached to the grills, but to the inside of the speaker between the cone foam and the housing side. There is enough space to place lights there. The rubber flex part of the cones do not contact the lights at all. The ears of the grill need to be cut back a little to clear the lights. A dremel and a couple minutes worth of work. This is with my JL speakers. Other brands install may vary.

optx marine is in west marine and the only 16ft spool with 3M marine grade double aidded tape, a lot of OEMs are using them. RGB 50/50 have been showing browning on the silicone from the heat of the LED stick with single color LEDs go to www.optxmarine.com check out there products they have some wild LEDs

$140 for a single color roll?? That must be installed pricing.

You get what you pay for, 3M marine grade adheasive, resisters that areimbeded in the silicone not mounted on the bac covered over with the tape to hide the. (not saying all produts are like that) but at cheaper price point thats what you get.....we have not seen any other brand with 3M marine grade.

I agree with "you get what you pay for", but the cheaper ones I use have the resistor mounted in the silicone, and are vertical so you can still wrap them and not interfere with the resistor.

I don't care what kind of tape it has, if there's gonna be any question about the mounting, I'll find an alternative method to mount them and not depend on the tape.

I just checked one of my rolls. It's 3M adhesive. So...I paid $30/roll for waterproof RGB led's with 3M adhesive, an IR controller and remote. You're paying $140/roll for single color. Math is hard

Per request by a couple, easier to just put them here. A little late, but none the less..
