This driver failed in less than a month. Now when bass hits it gives off a deafening sound.

I used these to replace a couple of speakers that blew out on my soundbar. These were easy to swap and sound better than the original speakers.

It will replace the speaker, but it will not fit the same or allow your speaker to be water resistant anymore. The screw holes are just a hair off so you'll have to screw in at an angle. The seal is a thin piece of foam that does not cover the contact point or offer waterproof ability. Sound quality isn't as deep as stock.
