I installed my Polk Speakers this afternoon in my patio. I could not be more pleased as they have an exceptional tone. The sound coming out of these speakers is just awesome. I started playing some music, turned up the volume and the wife asked me to dance. Geez....

So guys, get ready to shake a leg after you install these babies.

I'm glad to have made this choice!

The number one plus for me; these speakers have been sitting on my deck, rain, shine, snow for 3 years and still working great.

-Great sound
-Decent looks. Simple style so it is easy to match with many landscape.
-Reasonable price. Outdoor speakers are generally expensive
-Easy installation
-Yoke is adjustable to direct the speakers at some angles

Tip: I think it will be a good idea to weatherproof the contacts of the speaker wires to the speaker connections with something like a silicon sealant. The connections got a little corroded due to the elements and I have to cut the tip of the wires to expose the new copper and reconnect.

These speakers are solid and hefty, sound is crisp and my music sounds like it should, especially in the vocal range. They are a bit on the large size for mounting out of sight, but their look is clean and attractive.
Only flaw I've noticed is when the bass is emphasized they get boomy pretty quick. As long as you keep the bass tone flat, you can crank them up and they show little distortion. They are a bargain for casual listening on your porch or patio.

The sound quality is exceptionally good in an outdoor environment. Mounting and installation was very easy.

I absolutely LOVE these speakers! The sound quality is fantastic! I know my neighbors were a tad bit upset the day these speakers arrived. I cranked up the music so high... Aretha, Amy Winehouse, Al Green et al. came through with such clarity, I felt like I was front row at a concert. I plan to buy another pair.
