Out door speakers

Recommended Posts

My system has extended to the deck.

I have wired and ready to go--now need a pair of speaks

The location of which will be very exposed to the elements (no soffit or awning etc protection--at all)

My research reveals that most if not all outdoor models (incl Klipsch) are "weather resistant" and recommend some soffit or otherwise sheltering.

HOwever, in the Parts Express catalog I see some "Marine" speaker offerings----"weather proof" spec.

Would like any input on this subject---should I get the "weatherproof" specs and if so, whose do you recommend---mfg and model # etc?

Tks all Dave

Check out the JBL Professional Series Control 28 or Control 30. Places like Busch Gardens and Seaworld use these all over their parks and are exposed. The Control 28's would blown away most hifi outdoor speakers and Control 30's are even better with 10" woofer and horn driver. Not sure how much 30's cost but you can get a pair of 28's for $350 or less per pair and that's cheap compared to any larger hifi outdoors like Klipsch or Boston Acoustic etc. Check out www.jblpro.com.

Dave,

The cheapest price I have been able to find is at www.cinemadealer.com. When you go to the site click JBL speakers then click surrounds and Control 28's are close to the bottom for about $160 apiece. There is also a place called www.fullcompass.com and they have just the list prices(you have to call them).

But when I do my outside system this is the way I will go.
