They are a poly coned. Yes a paper cone won't last but who makes a paper coned speaker any more. I've been using mine for two years and no problems... IMO most marine subs are just cheap auto subs painted white at twice the price or more. A copper voice coil is a copper voice coil, poly cone is a poly cone.
Most any auto speaker is made to handle high humidity and door speaker are made to get wet. I just never really got sucked into the whole marine audio thing, IMO is mostly just marketing.

Very similar package to what I have. I'm running all 8 of my DC gold speakers off of one PDX 4.150 and running the a PDX 4.100 bridged to power my subs. I already had the 4.100 or I would have gone with the 1.600. It will hurt my ears if I'm in the boat and crank it all the way up.

well ive got the system installed alpine head unit, pdx-4 amp and 4 jl 770's. Sounds good but I get a popping sound from the speakers when I turn it up real loud. almost sounds like a balloon popping. Im guessing that means Im giving the speakers a little more bass then they can handle, for thats when it happens is on the heavy bass hits. Im a little worried about it. Now I wish I would have bought the 5 channel amp and added a sub it would really round out the system. Still tossing around the idea,maybe another amp and 2 subs

Hey Griff, How many batteries do you have running your system? I was figuring 2. I also have a dual battery charging module from Atkinson Electronincs I planned on putting on it.
