I searched for "outdoor ceiling speakers" and these came up, but the description does not say suitable for outdoor use? Want to install in my porch

They are inside speakers. I don't see why they wouldn't work outside if they are installed under a patio cover of some sort.

They have some that resemble stones. Also, you can get other actual outdoor speakers. Most are set in a box. When in doubt, don't purchase.

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'm sorry, they are not constructed for outdoor use. Thanks for the question. ted

Yeah, you have to install in the ceiling. I guess you could build a box to house them but at that point you should just get regular mounting speakers.

These speakers can be in the outdoors but I would not put them in areas that get direct rain or snow. They are perfect for covered patios etc.

What exactly is your question? I have a pair of these as rear surround mounted on the ceiling behind a couple of theater seats...they sound awesome..but i have a sub hooked up...ok from previous answers i gather you want to use them as rear speakers..not good idea..they are mainly surround speakers, so not very good bass response.

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

You should buy speakers designed for outdoor or marine use. Even though they are protected, the humidity is likely to eventually have an impact since they were not made for that. I wouldn't even put them in a bathroom that gets humidity from a shower.

I haven't figured that one out yet, my speakers are new and I mounted mine under the eaves of my patio to keep them out of the weather. Supposedly they hold up well but I wouldn't recommend putting them directly in the path of bad weather and rain.

I have to agree with the other respondents in that I would not expect these speaker to last with any outdoor exposure. I do in fact love these speakers and have them in two rooms currently and plan to expand to a whole-house. Completely indoors. I do have the external Yamaha Speakers which have served me well over the past few years. They are mounted in a case which may not give you the appearance you're going for. But no, these guys would not do well in an outdoor environment.

As I understand it, they are "water-resistant", not waterproof. I have not had the chance to use these speakers in adverse weather.

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.

As long as they're not directly exposed to the rain or snow I wouldn't see why not. Temperature changes and moisture would probably cause some harm but my guess is that they'd last at least several years. If in doubt buy outdoor speakers.

I presume they would be good for indoor usage. they are regular speakers in a weatherproof casing.

these speakers are specifically designed for wall installation. speakers for ceiling are different by design and installation. therefore, i do not suggest

these speakers get very loud. i have never tried them outside, but i am almost positive they will be loud enough. in my bedroom they dotn go past 25 percent - as that is plenty loud enough.

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.
