Fits my needs perfectlyCan't beat these for the price. I wanted some speakers that didn't sound tinny for outdoors, but can't afford high dollar boxes for my backyard. These fit the bill perfectly. Good bass for the price, no tinny sound you would expect for this price point. I've had them for a month and am positively pleased. If they last a couple years I'll be 100% happy to buy another pair.
2008-10-15 Great economical speakers
These speakers were easy to install, they sound good and work well. I have another set of outdoor speakers (brand ???) bought from expensive electronics store, they work well but don't sound as good as this pair.
2008-09-15 Good sound, perfect for outdoors
I bought these speakers to use at our college football tailgate party. The sound is excellent and they're a good value for the money. I had to improvise a little on the mounting, but was able to create a mounting solution to attach them to our folding tent frame using some inexpensive brackets, bolts and nuts from a hardware store.
Time will tell how they stand up to the rain and cold, but they've withstood some pretty good heat with no signs of wear and tear.

I purchased these from Wholesale AV, which I would highly recommend. I really only had other reviews to go by. Since the other older models received such high reviews, decided to go with the newer. They get the thumbs up from me. They have reasonable lows and nice crisp highs. Remember that if you're mounting these outside, you won't get the bass you're used to inside your home where there are better acoustics. I love being in my backyard way more than ever, either working or just relaxing. You'll look for excuses to just be outside!
I play internet radio through my computer & have a headphone to stero rca adapter going to my amplifier & from the amp I ran telephone line through the attic to the other side of the house, & just outside my patio I installed a stereo volume control purchased from Radio Shack for $40.00, & from in-wall volume control to the speakers mounted about 15' apart..just under the eave. You will need 4 screws to mount the bracket. I have hardy plank siding & used 2.5" wood screws. If you don't have speakers in your backyard, don't wait any longer. It's a great investment and you and your friends will love them.
2008-07-08 husband really enjoys the speakers
works well, sound good, very easy to install and include a safety chain if the bracket should ever fail. It is nice to be able to listen to music on while we are outside working or swimming. Would recomend!
