whats up everyone.. long time no posts and shiz..
but anyway, a good buddy of mine has a 79 blazer, the top comes off and he plans on keeping it off, rain or shine. what im wondering is, do marine speakers sound the same as "regular" speakers? and worst case scenario is that it rains all night/day on them, so would they Really take it and not lock up or anything? also, what are some good brands? price range would be $50-$150 or so.

I like Mbquart and JBL. Both work fine and work in constantly wet conditions as long as there not submerged in water they will work fine.

my dad uses alpine on his boat ive used pheonix gold on mine both work fine the alpines my dad uses has better sq for sure. oh yeah the pheonix golds ive used are car audio not marine grade i keep them in the cabin on my boat both are commercial fishing boats so they put up with allot of salt water and extreme temperatures. my dad used to use outdoor speakers all the time on his boat those square ones with a little 3 or 4 and a tweeter those worked fine too but i cant remember the brand.
he really wants me to put a sub on his boat this year im thinking of a 10 ib setup in his cabin

Scarrel,
Polks are excellent speakers for marine usage. I have used Polks in the past and they are very nice. Like Bill said though, any speaker that is marine grade will work if rained on, but submerged, NONE of them will.
I have to purchase new speakers for my boat this season. I am looking at JL mainly cause Mobile Toys INC is a dealer for them and I get them at a discount.
