Patio speakers - Blu-ray Forum

MAL01 · 05-22-2011, 08:27 PM

Hey guys,
Anybody have any recommendations on good patio speakers? I have some old Jensens I've been using for a good ten years

and they are not that bad, but just wanted to try something new. Oh, like to keep it under $200.00

Thanks

Definitive Technology makes very good all weather speakers.

If the Def Techs are too expensive, try Home Theater Direct.

If you are a DIY person, you can do what this Australian couple have done.

With the hot months of summer ahead of us, most people improve and service their air conditioner. This guy installs an IB sub instead.

That is beautiful. I would like to eventually add a sub to my outdoor setup, but I figure I need to get some permanent outdoor speakers first.
