Can these speakers be used outside on a patio that is covered as part of the roof structure and gets no rain, snow or sun?

I think it possibly could but I wouldn't do it. I bought speakers specifically made for outdoor environments.

I have mine mounted under my front porch. They haven't been through a winter yet, but as far as moisture goes,they've been fine. No direct rain falls on them though.

Mine are outside under a covered deck so I can't attest to how they would hold up otherwise. That said some of the reviews on Amazon are from people who have installed them in unprotected outdoor areas with no problems. Yamaha states they are designed for use in exposed outdoor areas. For the price I would risk it. I truly believe they would be OK. Hope this helps. Carl

Nope. I use these speakers on my patio. They really have a good base/lows so you don't need a subwoofer.

You will need to purchase speaker wire. I used direct bury speaker wire, since my speakers are exposed to the weather.

Yes, they can. I just purchased by second set of 151 speakers. My first set lasted over 10 years. I left them outside 365 days a year !!

Some can depending on type. If they under a porch I would say yes. If not they have put door speakers. Mine are used as indoor front and rear surround.

I bought these speakers to attach to the back of my house to listen to music from a system inside my house. They have metal brackets that I mounted on the stucco outside my house and bracket allows you to adjust up and down. Personally, as long as you have some speaker wire they can be your speakers but these are designed to be used outside. In my opinion, it would be abnormal to mount these inside your house for a surround system but they would work. For my application they work awesome and I'm super happy with them. If you are going to use them indoors I would buy something smaller and made for indoors. I bought these speakers to attach to the back of my house to listen to music from a system inside my house.

I'm not familiar with the speakers you mentioned, but I'm not sure if I would suggest these speakers for indoor use just based on asthetics. They are constructed of plastic and more suited for an outdoor application. They do have good sound quality outdoors, I never used them indoors.

I wouldn't think so? They are covered in cloth along the wiring. IF you plan to use them in a patio area where they wouldn't get wet, then I don't see why not. I have mines hanging in the sunroom and they look soooo nice. I would not hang them anyplace where they could get "wet" or a high wind would blow them and cause them to crack or break, by swinging and hitting against something.

NO, they have to be wired with speaker wire, which I believe a certain distance, maybe 50' each, was provided. I carried it a step further and actually ran 1/2" PVC and burried it so that the wires would not be accidentally cut by yard maintenance. Speakers look and sound great in the yard. Put out three pairs, in addition to the ones on my patio cover, which are another brand. Hope this helps.

yes they are correct. I used these speakers on my patio and have been happy with their performance. I did add a 10" powered sub woofer because the bass just seemed to disappear outdoors.

These speakers are open. You might want to opt for using outdoor speakers or find a weatherproof speaker enclosure to put these units in.

I don't believe these speakers were designed for outdoor use. Admitted you stated the patio was covered, but being subjected to temperature and humidity variances would make me concerned about it. Hope this helps you.

I use my speaker mainly outdoors. Sounds great anywhere. Never have exposed it to rain wind and sand, so dont know how it stands up elements. Great little speaker.

I have had these speakers mounted on the outside of my garage for nearly two years. They are fully exposed - NOT under an eave or protected in any way. They have endured rain, snow, temperature changes, constant sun, and sound as good today as the day I installed them. Install the speakers wherever you wish. They will hold up very well, I am sure. In fact, I liked these speakers so much that I just bought four more to install inside the garage, where I am building my new photography studio. Go for it!! They are built like Sherman Tanks.
