Overview

Mounting the C-bracket to a wall is the first step, then wiring the speaker with up to 12 gauge cable. A square Tractrix horn guides the titanium dome tweeter so sound carries across wide open spaces.

The reason to choose it is a durable housing and an efficient design that carries sound outdoors with moderate power. The limit is quantity, because the title says pair while the item data says a set of one. The connectivity fields also mention Bluetooth, which should not be assumed.

Who it's for

An outdoor wall with an amplifier or receiver running speaker wire is the intended home. Those who want to stream from a phone with no extra gear, or who need to be sure of getting two speakers, should read the listing carefully first.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • UV-resistant white enclosure
  • Efficient design for open spaces
  • Wall bracket with threaded insert
  • Non-corrosive removable grille
Cons
  • Quantity wording is inconsistent
  • Needs an external amplifier
  • Bluetooth fields conflict with wired
  • Warranty says see manual

Performance notes

Efficient drivers turn more of the amplifier power into sound, which helps outdoors where nothing reflects it back. The horn mated to the dome tweeter focuses the highs toward the listening area. Wire gauge matters, as the description recommends heavy stranded copper cable.
