Dual Electronics LU43PB 4" 3-Way High Performance Outdoor Indoor Wired Speakers | Effortless Set Up | Home, Pool, Patio, Garage Use | Weather Resistant | Expansive Stereo Sound Coverage | Black

Update: the speakers are still good! Our receiver/amp was under powered for four speakers. Make sure your receiver is at least 4 ohms and you will be good with these speakers.As with most things, you get what you pay for. We've had these outside for two years and it's time to replace them. There's nothing wrong with the speakers. I think we just turned to the volume too much and blew them out. They crackle and play static even when no sound is being played.We have the smallest model and they're only 100 watt output. I think the bigger options would stand up to our use better.I would still recommend the product; just play your music so you can hear it instead of playing it to cause hearing loss.I'm considering buying the bigger model for my school's weight room.

Wow what a difference these speakers made. I hardwired two outdoor speakers about 30 years ago, long before we were blessed with the convenience of Bluetooth technology. I recently had my house painted and removed my 30-year-old speakers that were definitely showing their age. My first thought was to just plug the holes in the wood fascia and call it a day. My second thought was to see if I could find some affordable all weather speakers to replace my very aged speakers. I’m glad I listed to my second thought, for the very affordable price point, these speakers are friggin awesome.

I almost regret keeping them. The sound quality is just ok. The lowest quality speakers I own. However they will work for what I bought them for. Price is in line for what they are.

For the price, this really is a great little speaker. I run patio speakers in the back of my Jeep so I can open the tailgate and flip them out to play tunes when I am camping/working on my "up north" property. The all-weather design leaves me with no concerns if it rains. If I am staying up there for more than a couple of days, I even hang them in the trees and run speaker wire back to the Jeep. I purchased these as a downgrade from my Klipsch KHO-7 pair, simply because they were too big and got in the way when I am loaded down with gear.They sound pretty good. The highs are clear and crisp without being too bright. The mids were a tad strong and "squawky" at first, but I was able to correct with an EQ adjustment. Bass lines are strong, but don't expect to be blown out of you seat with a 4.5" woofer. I can't speak of deep bass, as my sub woofer takes over at 120Hz. The sub is another reason for the downgrade from the Klipsch's - there really wasn't much need for a large enclosure when the sub takes all the big hits. They are being driven by a 250w amp, which is probably realistically a 150w amp that I only use 100w of at peak. They take the power fine, but do of course have a limit before they distort if I really try and push them That limit is beyond my useful range anyway. They are loud enough that they become uncomfortable after a few song up close, and project enough that I can hear the tunes clearly on the front 5 acres of my property. Overall, and considering the price, they are a surprisingly comparable to the Klipsch's in sound quality. While they do project well on my wooded lot, I have to give that win to the Klipsch’s and their horn-loaded tweeter. In closing, these were well worth the $50. With the abuse these see in the way of being bounced around in the Jeep, I expect to get 2-3 years out of them. If they fall short of that, I will update here as long as Amazon will let me….

Never written a review until now. Just installed these speakers in my shop. Absolutely amazing! WELL WORTH IT!

Decent speakers for the money. I replaced some old KLH speakers that were comparable to these, they were really old as in 1990's old, but I had only used them since 2004. I was lucky and was able to use the existing KLH mounting brackets so that made installation a breeze. Anyway, for an inexpensive set of outdoor speakers these are pretty much your only option and they are worth it. Next step up would be the yamaha or Klipsch which run around $100 or a little less. The weak point of these speakers are the spring loaded wire terminals. In my opinion I think they should have made them just a little more robust. The clips are spring loaded, and if you are not careful, the terminal button will pop out. It's easy to put it back in, so not all is lost if this happens. Some suggestions when you hook them up:1) Strip the speaker wire a little long. The way the spring clips work is they just push the wire in the opposite directions of the spring tension, and hope that the wire touches the metal conductor on the other side. If you don't have enough exposed wire, it won't get a good connection.2) Be very gentle when opening and handling the spring clip while inserting the speaker wire. The spring clips are somewhat fragile in the sense that they are not a robust design (without calling them cheap). If you are careful, it will work.Final thoughts: the speakers sound good. For the money, you get what you paid for. The weak link in these speakers are the speaker wire terminals, so handle them in a way that reflects their fragile nature. I'm not sure why they didn't just use screw terminals, it probably would have been cheaper to manufacture, and being outdoor speakers, it would have helped the speaker wire that in under the screwed down terminal to avoid tarnishing which eventually degrades the circuit.** Update **Have had these for several years now, and I can't understand why the manufacturer used the spring clip style connection to the speaker wire. The spring clip speaker wire connection is not a good way to connect speakers in an outdoor setting. The connection will corrode fairly quickly. The manufacturer should instead just put a plug on the case and run the speaker wire out the back of the speaker case. Then, the user could simply either crimp the wires together, or just twist them together, then cover the connection with electric tape, or plastic dip, or any other mechanism to make the connection moisture resistant. This would also be cheaper to manufacture since you don't need to have the spring connector assembly.
