speakersox. Still a rip off at 60 bucks but they work great. I have had mine for 4 or 5 seasons how and they are holding up well. Slight fade but nothing bad.

The Wet Sounds Suitz are the best. Custom fit, durable neoprene, carry handles for those with the TC3-S clamps. Zipper closure with inner protective flap.

The next best cover is by speaker sox. They are not a tailored fit, draw string closure, not as thick and heavy and they fade at a MUCH faster rate.

What is your storage situation? Indoor, covered, dock, etc?

Driveway, which is the main reason I'm looking for covers...

I do not own them, but if stored outside, does the rain water pool in the bottom on the Wet Sounds Suitz?
They look pretty nice. Those are the two options I know about.

@MJHSupra,

No pooling in my experience.

If you have the quick connects, take them off and store them inside or in the boat. Otherwise, I would buy the product meant for them made by Wetsounds. Buy once, cry once.

Buy wet sounds. If covered for storage and mainly for bugs when trailering then the light weight speaker sox would have been fine.

I had black Speaker Sox but a couple of weeks outside and they faded to a light grey. Probably not designed to withstand so much sunlight though.

I purchased the Speaker Sox.

Yes they are not as robust as the Wetsounds Suitz, but for simple protect at a lesser cost, they work.

They have although faded after a season of being exposed to the elements as my boat is on a lift at my cottage for the season.

I got the sewing machine out and made my own. I think I have maybe $30 in everything.... made 2 speaker covers and a cover for my extra board rack with what I had...... my wife makes fun of me every time I use the sewing machine! Lol.... she stopped when I showed her how much those neoprene covers cost to buy!

Looks good, but that's above my skill level, and my wife's...

When you order that pair from speaker sox, let me know and ill mail you one of the Wet Sounds covers so you can compare. The last covers I got from Speaker Sox, although not for a wet sounds pod, where no where near what the Wet Sounds covers are.

I have owned speaker sox for my Mojo and then for my SA. While they are a decent product they are thin, tear easily and fade if left out in the sun. I also purchased the PTM board rack clamp covers from them for my SA and a couple of the corners tore when they were around a year old. I would look at these covers more as a it keeps the bugs and spiders off of my speakers and board racks which helps especially when towing...nothing more than that.

I ended up going with the wet sound covers earlier this year. 1 season down and no regrets.

^^This! I have speaker sox too, they are mainly for catching bug splatters while towing. I don't have a dock or outdoor storage so I felt the legit neoprene covers were overkill.
