The speaker recessed into the vent and only stuck out about 1 1/4", so basically just the speaker trim was all that stuck out. I welded a piece of metal onto the back of the vent and caulked the seems just incase, so now the vents are a recessed water proof speaker box.
I'm willing to bet your waterproof isn't water proof, and that would explain the d.o.a. speakers..
