Just what I wanted
Wanted some great sounding waterproof speakers for out by the pool. Have a nice set of cheaper Jensons on the patio but I didn’t order those because they are not rated for full exposure so I found these and for a few more dollars they are fantastic! Great full ranging sound and loud enough on my old JVC reciever and amp even when we’re splashing around.
low sound level, unimpressive sound quality
The sound from these speakers is quite unimpressive. The volume level is very low. I wanted these so I could have my “B” speakers out on the deck, and my “A” speakers still playing in the house. These speakers are so much quieter than my stereo’s normal speakers, that it can’t be done. In order to have adequate volume outside on these speakers, the volume would have to be set so the indoor speakers were blaring. So I have to turn off the “A” (indoor) speakers when I play these speakers outside since the volume has to be cranked up to get the same sound.
