Can this amp be mounted on an outdoor patio celing corner and hold up over time? Sheilded from weather minus air quality.

This amp is clearly intended for indoor use. However, if it is shielded from rain, in moderate temperatures without too much humidity it should be okay. You may void the warranty if it fails due to exposure to the elements. You are taking a risk by putting it outdoors, but it's not that expensive.

I would concur with what JoeK said. Hopefully your power source would be close by that corner as well.

I would say not for long-term use. If you wanted to plug it in outside while you were there then yes but not for the direct sun or weather /rain

yes and it will be awesome. btw.. this is not 100% water proof its more "water resistant" the amp will short out if gets REALLY wet so just so you know..

Bob, I think any electrical component with the contacts exposed to the weather would not be suitable to be used outside. You would have to use parts specially designed for outside use.

Most outdoor fans will be "damp rated". This one does not have this listed. You could certainly install it outside, but you may run into problems.

I would not recommend this for outdoor use. There are far too many places that moisture could sneak in. However, if you mount it upside down underneath some form of cover that can keep it dry it should be OK. For a while :)

I've used mine outdoors for a year with no issue. It appears to be a pretty weather tight unit.

It is advertised as weatherproof. Mine is in my golf cart. The speakers and amp have been subject to indirect water from rain and drizzle, and I don't take any special precautions when I hose the cart out or give it an occasional thorough washing, including the amp.

should be no problem. I use mine outside and have had not problem. I would not leave it out in the weather for extended periods

If you're receiving a good signal now, the amplifier will strengthen it considerably. It shoudl work the same with an attic antenna as it does one placed outdoors.

You should only install fans outside that are specifically rated for outdoor use. Try searching for "outdoor fans" or "light kits outdoor fans" to find appropriate models. Moisture can cause expensive circuit damage.

To be honest with you, I don't think I would. It does have some metal objects that may rust and then shorten the life of the shade. I installed mine outside of course but the mount is under the patio overhang to protect it from direct sunlight and water. I'm not an expert this is just my opinion.

I have mine mounted with an open 1/2 rack space above it and have no issues so far. Nice amp.

I don't know I have mine in an open area. You can run it but you will need ventilation because the amp will get hot.

I don't believe it is specifically designed for outdoor use, but if it is used in a semi-enclosed area like a screened-in porch where it is not directly exposed to rain, it should work okay. I've seen similar fans mounted in the ceiling of front porches. Make sure it is properly grounded and powered through a GFCI breaker.

It can, but you will risk the amp getting hot depending on where you place the amp, your normal volume, and the temp outside. Try to avoid putting it under any seats.

We live in a rain forest area. Our receiver is mounted in our unheated and uncooled garage, and it isn't affected by climate change. However, I am pretty sure I read online not to mount it outside.
