Theater Solutions2R4G Outdoor Granite Rock 2 Speaker Set for Deck Pool Spa Patio Garden, 4.5-Inch, Granite Grey

I’ve had the 4” version of the same brand for 8-9 years in the harsh Palm Springs sun. (They still work) I decided to update my sound in the back yard. 8” add a nice amount of bass to the music. It’s not like DJ quality bass but it’s enough that I can drown out my neighbors vrbo who is getting annoying with their loud music. Mine is now louder and also annoying I’m sure.

I live in Central Florida, where it rains HARD, every day during the summer months. I have these in the backyard, near my pool. Their sound quality (alone) lacks decent bass, but in conjunction with two other speakers that I have under the patio cover, the overall sound is very nice. (my other speakers put out alot of bass) They have performed perfectly, even in a harsh down pour, for nearly a year now, and look even better after "ageing" in the harsh sunlight. They are NOT bluetooth capable, so you will have to run wire to each speaker.(I ran pvc conduit and pulled wire to each location) On a side note, when I first purchased these, one had a "flaw" and didn't work properly, but the seller was very quick in sending a replacement. Good customer support! NOW, if you want to use these, and want bluetooth capability, just make sure the "receiver" amp you are using has a bluetooth receiver built in, and then you can use a tablet, or smartphone to play music over your yard. The unit I am using is a Pyle receiver, and has been operating outside for about a year, as well (under cover, and out of the direct rain, of course) I recommend this product as well, due solely to my own personal experience with it) But it has withstood the humidity, and dust of my patio. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GVYHJK2/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1

My first set lasted for over 8 years when one $%&) @ night I had them a little to loud and blew one of the subs. Took the old ones out to the trailer and was please when I found out that they still sell the same speakers.The sound quality is suburb for what they are. With enough base and treble to satisfy even the pickiest of them.

Let me preface by revealing I'm an audiophile. I'm very particular and demanding about my speakers. I'm putting the finishing touches on a back yard project, and needed speakers to go by the firepit. Frankly, these are not what I wanted, I had my eyes on some Klipsch Reference Series rock speakers because I have their outdoor speakers under my eves and they are amazing. But my project is badly over budget and the Klipsch are four times the price, so I had to settle for less at this time.I received these on time as usual, then unboxed them and played in my basement for about four days. When I first started playing them I was not happy at all. Very hollow sounding with thumpy bass. But I know most speakers need some breaking in, so I let them play awhile. After a few hours of play time they smoothed out and I decided I could live with them.The look is OK. They are not concrete, they are made of some plastic material. But they look OK and will blend fine with the concrete they sit on. They're not bad looking by any means.I installed them outside tonight, Let me be clear, these are not high end speakers, but for the money they sound pretty good. The bass doesn't go low (I didn't expect it too), but it produces a satisfying thump. They are a bit shrill in the midrange, but I was able to fix most of that with some EQ settings.Bottom line...once I broke them in and did some corrections through the EQ; they sound very decent. Now coming from me, that's pretty good. Most people would be very happy with the sound.The real question now is whether or not they will hold up. I'll try to report back after a season to let you know.If you have plenty of money to spend, you can certainly do better. If you're on a budget like I was this time, you'll probably be very satisfied with these.

ABLE TO CHANGE THE AWFUL SOUND. I Bought these back some time ago- and when I got them they sounded terrible like mud. The highs were ok but they had no bass and would not handle any power-they just bottomed out with any amount of bass. I wet them with hose and had water in one of them instantly. I took both of these apart(TO GET THE WATER OUT!) The enclosure around the speaker mount was uneven and open--- allowing water to get in and air to get out. There was also substantial air passing in and out of bottom panel of rock enclosure itself. I caulked around speaker on the inside and sealed the gap around it as well as the bottom panel with clear silicone. I allowed to dry and these speakers are now robust, warm and sound like a 400 dollar set of bookshelf speakers-----with unbelievable BASS and substantial POWER HANDLING ability. These get 1 star because most of the world is not technically inclined nor able to problem solve. These speakers stayed outside in North Carolina weather for the past several years now with no deterioration of sound what so ever. Buy or bought these? Then buy some silicone caulk and get to work!

Obviously you get what you pay for but I was pleasantly surprised about these speakers. They don’t have a lot of bass to them but they do put out good clean sound. Only had them for a couple months but still working great.

Works great! True look of a rock with great sound. Installation with help of electrical guru easy!

I'm a snotty audiophile weirdo who's used to expensive Revel floor standing speakers in my listening room, so while these may not be that, these speakers sit on my back patio taking a beating from sun, rain, and snow, and always sound lovely and never the least bit objectionable with regard to frequency holes or exaggerations within their design spec. These replaced a pair just like them that I bought 18 years ago, badged differently but were the same, until a driver in one of them finally lost its composure and started flatulating. How can anyone not love speakers that sound great while being kicked in the teeth by weather for nearly two decades? Here's to 18 more years!
