Pair of Indoor/Outdoor Speakers Black

Great for the price. I have them installed under a small awning in my backyard, running off a Yamaha receiver, connected to an outdoor tv. Sound is great for watch TV shows and movies out back. Not the best for music due to lack of bass, but for the price I could care less. Great iver all quality for the price.

Have an old Sony jambox as a garage radio. Noticed one night that a speaker magically died. Could not find a replacement speaker (the actual electrical part inside the plastic box), so I tried these out. They work quite well, with good sound quality, even though they are 4 ohms (the Sony originals are 3.2 ohms). Since they are in the garage, they don't see any real outdoor weather, so I can't comment on that. They include brackets for hanging them, which is nice, but I did not use them.

I purchased 3 sets of these of these speakers to set up a 5.1 channel portable backyard theater sound system. For my use they are perfectly adequate and at the price offered, allowed me to set up 5.1 channel system rather than a more traditional 2.1 system. I have the speakers mounted on home built stands based on 2x2x36" metal fence posts mounted to 8x8x2" paver bricks, which allows for a good balance of stability vs portability/easy storage. The speakers are connected to a Sony STR-DH740 receiver with 14 GA low voltage outdoor wire and inexpensive banana plugs. The low end is supplemented with a BIC PL-200 subwoofer. Given the low price of these speakers, I am satisfied. The sound is more than adequate for my intended purpose and they can reach higher than comfortable listening volume without objectionable distortion. The spring loaded wire connectors are cheaper than average and require some finesse to hold the admittedly larger than recommended 14 GA wire. If the speaker is moved relative to the wire, it is likely that they would become disconnected. In an attempt to possibly change the wire connectors to something better, I disassembled one of the speakers only to find that the existing terminal is soldered on and epoxied into place. Changing it out would require cutting the internal driver leads and modification to the speaker housing. For the time being I'll leave them as they are and see how the current connections hold up. Internally, the speakers leave a bit to be desired. There is no crossover to speak of. One capacitor is used as a rudimentary crossover between the tweeter and 2 1/2" driver, while the 4" driver is simply wired in parallel with the other 2 drivers. This wiring likely contributes to the relatively high impedance of these speakers. Driver quality is about what one would expect from speakers at this price point. I was surprised and pleased to see a bit of fiber fill in the speaker housing. As I store these speakers out of the elements when not in use, I can't comment on how well they handle the weather, but they do seem relatively well sealed against the elements. For regular, daily usage, I would probably step up to the Yamaha's at roughly twice the price. For my occasional usage, however, they are more than adequate.

Installed in the garage and laundry room hanging from the ceiling. Full range sound very clear and plenty loud. I was surprised how good they sound. I’m very happy with these especially for the price.

For the price, this really is a great little speaker. I run patio speakers in the back of my Jeep so I can open the tailgate and flip them out to play tunes when I am camping/working on my "up north" property. The all-weather design leaves me with no concerns if it rains. If I am staying up there for more than a couple of days, I even hang them in the trees and run speaker wire back to the Jeep. I purchased these as a downgrade from my Klipsch KHO-7 pair, simply because they were too big and got in the way when I am loaded down with gear. They sound pretty good. The highs are clear and crisp without being too bright. The mids were a tad strong and "squawky" at first, but I was able to correct with an EQ adjustment. Bass lines are strong, but don't expect to be blown out of you seat with a 4.5" woofer. I can't speak of deep bass, as my sub woofer takes over at 120Hz. The sub is another reason for the downgrade from the Klipsch's - there really wasn't much need for a large enclosure when the sub takes all the big hits. They are being driven by a 250w amp, which is probably realistically a 150w amp that I only use 100w of at peak. They take the power fine, but do of course have a limit before they distort if I really try and push them That limit is beyond my useful range anyway. They are loud enough that they become uncomfortable after a few song up close, and project enough that I can hear the tunes clearly on the front 5 acres of my property. Overall, and considering the price, they are a surprisingly comparable to the Klipsch's in sound quality. While they do project well on my wooded lot, I have to give that win to the Klipsch’s and their horn-loaded tweeter. In closing, these were well worth the $50. With the abuse these see in the way of being bounced around in the Jeep, I expect to get 2-3 years out of them. If they fall short of that, I will update here as long as Amazon will let me….

Decent speakers for the money. I replaced some old KLH speakers that were comparable to these, they were really old as in 1990's old, but I had only used them since 2004. I was lucky and was able to use the existing KLH mounting brackets so that made installation a breeze. Anyway, for an inexpensive set of outdoor speakers these are pretty much your only option and they are worth it. Next step up would be the yamaha or Klipsch which run around $100 or a little less. The weak point of these speakers are the spring loaded wire terminals. In my opinion I think they should have made them just a little more robust. The clips are spring loaded, and if you are not careful, the terminal button will pop out. It's easy to put it back in, so not all is lost if this happens. Some suggestions when you hook them up: 1) Strip the speaker wire a little long. The way the spring clips work is they just push the wire in the opposite directions of the spring tension, and hope that the wire touches the metal conductor on the other side. If you don't have enough exposed wire, it won't get a good connection. 2) Be very gentle when opening and handling the spring clip while inserting the speaker wire. The spring clips are somewhat fragile in the sense that they are not a robust design (without calling them cheap). If you are careful, it will work. Final thoughts: the speakers sound good. For the money, you get what you paid for. The weak link in these speakers are the speaker wire terminals, so handle them in a way that reflects their fragile nature. I'm not sure why they didn't just use screw terminals, it probably would have been cheaper to manufacture, and being outdoor speakers, it would have helped the speaker wire that in under the screwed down terminal to avoid tarnishing which eventually degrades the circuit. ** Update ** Have had these for several years now, and I can't understand why the manufacturer used the spring clip style connection to the speaker wire. The spring clip speaker wire connection is not a good way to connect speakers in an outdoor setting. The connection will corrode fairly quickly. The manufacturer should instead just put a plug on the case and run the speaker wire out the back of the speaker case. Then, the user could simply either crimp the wires together, or just twist them together, then cover the connection with electric tape, or plastic dip, or any other mechanism to make the connection moisture resistant. This would also be cheaper to manufacture since you don't need to have the spring connector assembly.

I am sending the first set back to Amazon and will try my luck with the replacement. I actually like the sound quality and the ease of installation. I am using an older Sony micro system (35W) to drive these speakers on a narrow but long patio. Playing music used to be a problem because of the location of the electric plug and the tables. We would normally place the stereo on the serving table close to one end of a long dining table, and either people sitting at the opposite end of the dining table could not hear the music, or people sitting next to the stereo could not talk because the music was too loud. These speakers solved the problem. I placed one at each end of the patio just under the patio roof. The installation was very easy. I placed the speakers horizontally pointing down slightly, and the nuts that attach them to the mounting brackets seem to be strong enough so that the speakers stayed at the same angle after playing for 6 hours. The Dual logos can be rotated in 90 degree increments to match the position of the speaker. I used the RCA AH1650SN 16-Gauge Speaker Wire and RCA AH12N Speaker Wire Clips, which I also bought from Amazon. I applied solder to all four ends of each speaker wire to prevent fraying, especially at the end that connects to the stereo, because the stereo will be moved indoors to its usual location when it is not being used on the patio. The sound quality is actually pretty good for background music, and can get pretty loud at the maximum volume and without distortion. The materials used for these speakers are reminiscent of the cheap PC speakers: hard but easily scratchable plastic, some artifacts on plastic left from the manufacturing process, large white sticker labels on the back with large font print, but this was not a surprise considering the price. Unfortunately, I am sending my first set back as soon as the replacement arrives. One of the speakers has a lose screw inside. The speaker works fine, and I was willing to try and open the speaker to get the screw out, but I could not find a way to open the speaker. They appear to be assembled by gluing pieces together. To my unpleasant surprise, I was unable to remove even the grilles, although the product photo on the Amazon's product page shows one speaker with grille and one without, implying that it is up to the customer to keep or to remove the grilles. When I tried to pry the grille off with a screwdriver, it did not come of, but the scrwdriver left indentations both the speaker body and the frame of the grille even though I applied very little pressure. I will update my review once I get the replacement, but, given the experience, I would not rate these speakers higher than OK (3 stars). Loose screws inside are unacceptable even for a low budget products such as this. UPDATE: The replacements did not have anything rattling inside. Sound is good. Grilles are NOT removable. The speakers are OK.

Love Duals hav a larger set for years at our pool, withstands the weather. This pair we just got and installed today and sounds amazing in our gazebo. Mounted in the rear corners, easy mounting install, connected to Dual Amplifier connection to Amazon Alexa, awesome.

This thing is a good deal, I bought it with the Fosi amplifier and the sound is great for outdoor. By the way the logo can move easily with a little twist. Seem good quality box, its used to play outdoor so no I dont really care about the sound to be perfect, they arent 1000$ speaker but damn its good for our movie night outside, ambiance music and party outside with our friends. Why spending more when these are great. It comes with everything except the wire ;-) just get it

Good speaker set, sounds the same with my old speaker set.

Totally rubish

I got these tiny speakers for a silly price, as a refurbished product (not that you’d know). But even at the regular price you’re getting a bargain as they possess a clear, strong and very rich sound for something that is largely plastic. Don’t expect a deep bass at this tiny size and price, and you won’t be disappointed. But do expect a very decent sound and a very solidly made item.

Good song very excellent
