Dual Electronics 4" 3-Way High Performance Outdoor Indoor Speakers with Powerful Bass, Effortless Mounting Swivel Brackets, All Weather Resistance, Sold in Pair, LU43PB

Update: the speakers are still good! Our receiver/amp was under powered for four speakers. Make sure your receiver is at least 4 ohms and you will be good with these speakers.As with most things, you get what you pay for. We've had these outside for two years and it's time to replace them. There's nothing wrong with the speakers. I think we just turned to the volume too much and blew them out. They crackle and play static even when no sound is being played.We have the smallest model and they're only 100 watt output. I think the bigger options would stand up to our use better.I would still recommend the product; just play your music so you can hear it instead of playing it to cause hearing loss.I'm considering buying the bigger model for my school's weight room.

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….

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.

Wow what a difference these speakers made. I hardwired two outdoor speakers about 30 years ago, long before we were blessed with the convenience of Bluetooth technology. I recently had my house painted and removed my 30-year-old speakers that were definitely showing their age. My first thought was to just plug the holes in the wood fascia and call it a day. My second thought was to see if I could find some affordable all weather speakers to replace my very aged speakers. I’m glad I listed to my second thought, for the very affordable price point, these speakers are friggin awesome.

This is the second pair of these I've purchased. I use them outside in the carport and in my shop. They hold up well and sound good enough for the price. Sure, there are better sounding speakers out there but I got these on sale for less than 40 bucks and they're subjected to humidity, moisture, extreme summer and winter temperatures, etc. They work great for my shop. I will buy another pair when I get ready to add on again.
