(Part 2) Best outdoor speakers according to redditors

Amplifier

PA horn

CB to Amp cable (standard 3.5mm aux cable)

You’ll need speaker wire to run from the Amp to the PA and you’ll need to power the amp somehow. They sell an AC to DC power supply but if installing in a 12VDC vehicle you can run 12v to it directly but you’ll just need the barrel connector / plug end. You can buy those on amazon as well or if you have access to electronic scraps or spare laptop power supplies you can hack one off there and wire it to your system.

To use the speaker without the amplifier, not sure how loud it would be, probably not very because the CB can only put out like 12-15 Watts on PA, you can use this cable to hook the speaker to the CB

Hope that helps.

I'm a big fan of these: https://www.amazon.com/Kicker-KB6000-Indoor-Outdoor-Speakers/dp/B0051BS28A

Have two sets, one sits outside all summer. Sounds great.

This "amp" only has bluetooth and RCA inputs. How are you planning to supply the signal to the amplifier?

My secret weapon: ION Party Rocker Plus!

This thing is an absolute fucking beast. 70ish hours of music with no lights. The light show is beautiful though.

I just purchased a pair of Definitive Tech AW6500 speakers to replace the old Bose all-weather speakers I had. They run off the second zone on my receiver, and they sound absolutely AMAZING. Terrific bass response, really nice high end, and full sound.

I can crank them up pretty loud if I want to, but they also sound great at lower levels when people are hanging out and don't want to be inundated with sound (or if it's getting late and I don't want to piss off the neighbors).

I cannot recommend these highly enough. And they are $170 each.

$150 gets you passive outdoor speakers.

$255 or more gets you powered/active outdoor speakers:

• OSD Audio BTP-525BLK 5.25-Inch Bluetooth
  
• OSD Audio BTP-650-Blk 6.5-Inch Bluetooth

You've got to have a receiver that has multiple zones if you want to choose different sources independently. I wanted to do the same thing with an outside/kitchen/dining room zone so I used my 2 zone onkyo tx-nr709 to control the second zone and wired an old amp I had that had A and B speaker selectors, then for outside I bought some wireless speakers.

What I'm getting at is you may just want to leave the two zones seperate and plug your phone into the speaker port of wireless speakers like those. Not ideal but probably the least expensive (I got the speakers for about $40 less than what they're at now).

The nice thing about my setup is anything (tv, xbox, internet radio) I want to listen to outside or in the kitchen ect, I can.

I re-read what you wrote and it sounds like you are looking for the equivalent of a professional powered stage monitor that is Bluetooth and weatherproof. I spent some time researching and could not find a professional product. I did however find non name brand/home products like the link below. I have never heard of this brand but Is this the functionality you are looking for?

Speaker is a Soundcast outcast junior

Phone is a samsung s5 mini.

of course in hindsight I should have bought these that do have volume control

If you're planning on using a Chromecast, you don't need the bluetooth in the ones you linked. Try out these.

Is there any reason why a set of Polk Audio Atrium 5 Outdoor Speakers wouldn't go nicely with a Sony STR-DH510 receiver?

I already own the Sony STR-DH510 receiver; looking to pair it with some outdoor speakers.

I recently put a pair of OSD AP670's in my garage and I like them. Mountable, loud, good sound/decent bass response, durable. $100/pair on Amazon. Grab 3 pair of these and an old beefy receiver and you're good to go.

I've been collecting vinyl for close to 8 years but my current setup would make most vinyl fans cringe, It's listed below on this comment.
I'm currently looking to upgrade to a better setup, but since money is usually tight I'll most likely be upgrading one at a time over the next year or so. I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion of what I should upgrade first. I'm thinking step 1 should be turntable based on the comment below:

Denon dp-dj151: Was gifted to me, used to belong to my father, i've discovered recently that it converts the analog audio to digital audio so this turntable will obviously need to be replaced.

AUVIO 4-Inch 3 Way Speakers (100w): Just some extremely basic bookshelf speakers I've had for years.

Insignia 200W 2.0 Channel Stereo Receiver: Stereo Receiver I bought in college because it was cheap and I didn't make much money

What do you guys think? Thanks!

I guess you're all right, u/Appljuze & u/voucher420. According to this it's 14W RMS per channel. However, according to an Amazon review of the speakers, they're not very bassy even with an amp, though others are saying otherwise.

Anyway, I still intend to get two additional speakers and I expected I'd need an amp for the fronts in case I got more wattage stuff. But what's my best course of action right now?
Should I look for a four channel 50W amp, run my rears off of it and stick to some 50W speakers for the front?
Or should I just get an amp for my rear speakers and buy an amp for the front when I decide what speakers to get?
Or should I get two separate amps no matter what speakers I choose? As I imagine it's best to have an amp close to the speaker.
Any recommendations?

Sorry for the wonky link. I'm on mobile.
These are the ones we got. They aren't wireless, but I know there are some Bluetooth enabled speakers on Amazon somewhere.

I had the same issue. I bought a stereo outdoor speaker instead called Polk audio atrium 8 SDI. Very happy with my purchase. It’s super on sale right now too. Normally $200 but on sale for like $140 on amazon.

Here’s the link Polk audio Atrium 8 SDI

I have polk atrium 6s that work well and two pairs would be right in your budget. Not wireless though, and remember, wireless isn't really wireless, you still need outlets to plug them into, so unless you have power by the pool, they aren't going to work.
