Abstract:
1. A waterproof speaker system comprising: a water impermeable rear casing cast as a unitary body with a rear panel and with side panels substantially orthogonal to the rear panel; a front frame cast as a unitary body, the front frame having a perimeter edge sealed to the side panels of the rear casing; a water impermeable front face panel sealed to a perimeter face of the front frame and substantially in contact with the rear casing; the front frame having a surface defining a driver void therethrough having substantially the same shape as the perimeter edge of a low frequency speaker driver; wherein the perimeter edge of the low frequency speaker driver is attached to the surface defining the driver void such that the low frequency speaker driver is not in contact with the front face panel; wherein a rear surface of the front face panel, front surface of the front frame, front surface of the low frequency speaker driver and offset edge define an offset void allowing the front face panel to oscillate without contacting the front surface of the front frame nor low frequency speaker driver; and a speaker wiring stud sealed to and projecting through the rear casing to provide electrical communication to the low frequency speaker driver.
