No. These are in-wall or in ceiling speakers and are not suitable for outdoor use.

Well... you CAN install them outside, they are not however waterproof nor outdoor rated from what I have seen. The wire connections would most likely develop corrosion over time, and eventually compromise the quality. I can say that these speakers are amazing, and I cannot fathom how that are at the price point they are. I would say that if you are looking at an area under an over hang, where they would not be in direct contact with the elements that you could seal them fairly well to extend their life... and they're cheap enough that it wouldn't break the bank to replace them.

I would say no. It is definetly not water proof and moisture would play havoc on them.

I use them outdoors, but they are not directly exposed to rain. For example, I have one installed under the eves of the roof. Another one in a covered entryway. I don't think they are water proof or water resistant.

Yes the speakers are water proof. The controller is water resistant. I sealed the seams of the controller and its perfect

Hi Claudia, Thanks for the question. The power cord is weatherproof on these Wireless Outdoor Speakers. So no worries if it gets wet. Contact AV-Express for more information.

These are not warerproof, so no. They do make ones that are waterproof for outside use.

just to add more info to your question,,,i had these speakers dropped in on the rear deck,,,,not installed under the rear deck

I don't see why not, They sound good, I have a 1000 w. amp that pushes these and 6 other 6" speakers. the only thing that makes them different is the material is weather resistant not water proof.

I guess it depends on your definition of water proof. I have them out on my patio. they've been out there for about 3 months. I clean the deck (pool area) about every week and the speakers have been "hit" with water indirectly. I move them up onto a table as I clean and I have never directly "hosed" them down but they have been subjected to water and seem to be doing just fine. Hope this helps

Yes you can use them outside. In fact they sound better outdoors since that's what they are designed for. While they can take the weather you should use commen sense and try to protect them from the elements as best as you can so they last for many years. They are priced per speaker not as a pair. So it's one speaker per box if that helps.

Speakers I got we're not list as MARINE type so probably shouldn't be in a wet environment

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.

Hello Jeanette. Yes, these speakers are designed for outdoor use. When properly installed the speaker(s) can withstand light showers, or water and moisture contact, as well as direct sunlight.

I don't think Bose endorses them for outdoor use. However, if you live in a moderate climate without too many extremes and shelter them from rain and direct sun, they could work. For the record, I thought about installing them on our deck (sheltered) and decided instead to go with wireless speakers that I keep indoors when not in use. Also Bose makes some great outdoor speakers that might be better suited for your purpose. I have a set that have gone through fairly extreme weather and still sound great.

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

They are marine rated. This means they can get wet but not submerged. We installed twelve of these in our boat last year and have no complaints. Make sure you do the math on the amp so that the speakers are getting enough power.

No. The silicone cover would probably protect them to some degree in a sudden downpour, but the speakers themselves are not sealed against any kind of water intrusion.

The speakers are very water resistant . The amp is supposed to be... but I never risked that
