    Shouldn't be an issue. The humidity will be bad for the speaker, though.

    A magnetic ballast is just a steel core wrapped in copper wire, a big transformer. A speaker is just a big mgnet so the worst you'll probably do is stick the two together.

    If you have open connections on the ballast and they stick together you could get shocked thru the metal frame of the speaker to your skin.

    If you keep them seperated you should be fine.
