can this subwoofer be used outdoors in a large patio. the rain and wind will not come in contact with the sub. I have built a roughly 2,000 Sq. Ft.

I feel it can. I have 2 and play rock music very loud ( with a pair of JBL L 7's) i have the subs turned up 1/2 way and the crossover is set at 80hz and they have plenty of room to go louder and deeper.

If the location has the necessary electrical access available and is kept protected from the elements it should be fine. Please also note any such item should be protected from roughhousing people, animals and small rodents which may think it is a good nesting site!

Yes, if you keep it dry then it has enough juice to rock your patio. However, I am not sure why you want to spend $400 for just a subwoofer for your patio, when you can have an entire atrium sound system for $599. Polk Audio SAT30 (pair spkrs.) + SUB10 package costs $599.99. The SAT30s are amazing....you can hang them from the ceiling and they look like some kinda patio decor. The SUB on the other hand, looks like a plant stand. Of course the choice is yours.

That largely depends on your amp equipment. If you have a good quality receiver with decent LFE technology, then yes, it will shake everything on your patio. But if you're using a cheapo $200 Sony receiver with junk parts, it might not sound as good, and might distort more. Get a good Onkyo or Harman Kardon receiver and you'll be ready to rock the porch.

Without a UL and/or CSA approval for "Direct Rain" I would not use it outdoors. Moisture in electronics or cables will distort signals.

This isn't really a sub enclosure. It's designed as an acoustic suspension (sealed) enclosure for full range car speakers and will fit on the rear deck of many cars. Of course you can use it however you like, but I think the internal volume is smaller than indicated because it's tapered in the back. I would guess about 0.25 cu ft.

I don't think you should use these outside. They would not be protected from the elements.They may last a year or two days depending on how wet they got. Polk Audio sells outside speakers for all seasons. Unfortunately the don't recess but they sound great.

they are not outdoor/weatherproof speakers so possibly IF the fairing prevents the speaker from direct rainwater exposure they would last a while. You could also look into waterproofing the cone and rubber surround to make them last longer- IDK a spray silicone sealer, a clear varnish, maybe....Longer term UV exposure would probably also break down the cone, rubber surround, and adhesives used to bond them together, depending on what, if any grille cloth the speaker grilles include -which depending on its density would provide some shielding from UV.

I wouldn't personally use it outdoors . It's kind of noisey too, so if you do get it get a controller to adjust the fan speed

You can run some external speakers on the deck or patio with the addional B speakers. The type depends on your taste and costs. But if their outdoor you shouldn't have any issues finding good quality outdoor speakers. Hope I helped.

Probably not loud enough for your needs. It works good for outside patio area with little back ground noise.

What is your use? Is it for a large outdoor installation? How far away are the speakers from the audience/listeners? The Klipsch AW-650 are pretty efficient, but I can tell you more with better specifics. Thanks,

I would think not .With the speaker in the unit it will probably be to far from your mouth & will pickup wind noise.

No, it is not an outdoor unit! The cushioned areas will get waterlogged and there are bolt holes that would eventually fill up with rain water. If a porch was covered, it could work but not exposed directly.

I had mine mounted outside and found the wind would blow it out. I mounted it inside under my kitchen sink and it works flawlessly.

I have these under my back patio overhang in Oklahoma City. With frequent severe weather (hail, thunderstorms, high winds, etc...), I used a self-fusing silicon tape to cover the terminals. This has worked extremely well. As long as your receiver can push these speakers, you should have no worries.

I actually don't know the answer to your question. You will need to have a strong amplifier to drive these speakers outdoors with lots of pool activity, noise, and splashing. Mine do well, but I have them mounted on a wall underneath a patio cover near a pool. The rain will never get on them however I live in a humid area with plenty of moisture. I have heard of people mounting these on party barges. I imagine that on a boat they are bound to get wet from rain, etc.

I don't know if you can connect more than more than one soundbar together.I would not use it outside. I think the sound is real good .

If you have a covered porch you could probably put it outdoors, but you will have to make sure it never gets hit by rain. I think you would be better off buying a fan that is specifically made for outdoor use. This one is not.
