Hurricane434 0 Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) I'm looking at having some outdoor speakers that will go on my covered patio in the back yard. Currently I'm looking at three Klipsch options: CP-6 outdoor speaker, R-1800-C in ceiling speaker, and the CDT-3650-C II in ceiling speaker. So first off, I've never been a huge in ceiling speaker person since I don't really care for the sound coming down from the sky but I guess for outdoor speakers they are generally mounted up high anyway. Plus, it is just the outdoor patio which isn't my main listening anyway. I was first looking at the CP-6 and they sound really good. However, thinking more about aesthetics and a cleaner look for the patio I have been leaning towards going with the in ceiling. As far as sound goes, I didn't hear much difference between these two in ceiling speakers (1800-C and 3650-C)...I know that one is 8" versus 6.5" but for roughly $100 per speaker more, what do you think about the 3650-C? One other thing I was wondering about was the ability to tilt the woofer with the 3650-C, which perhaps might help in "aiming" the sound better. The salesperson I talked to didn't think it would matter much. What do you think? As for my use of these speakers, I don't plan on having big parties and blowing out the neighborhood. I save my rocking for the inside with my towers So they don't really need to play loud. But I do like a balanced sound. I'd appreciate any comments, thoughts, opinions on comparing all three of these... Edited November 20, 2016 by Hurricane434 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seadog 644 Posted November 21, 2016 My AW-650's have been rocking on my back patio for nearly 10 years. I am still amazed at how great they sound. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pbphoto 224 Posted November 21, 2016 I'm building a new back patio / pergola right now. My plan is to use the R-15PM's out there. They're very portable and just need an outlet. They can use bluetooth or hookup an iPhone or laptop via line-in. I'm purposely trying to avoid hardwiring and hanging some outdoor speakers. Just my preference.
