Planning on getting these locally for $50. Would this be loud enough to act as speakers for outside/large room for dancing?

No, they work very well in a home environment feeding maybe 1000 sq feet. That's with minimal ambient noise. A room full of people making noise would make these things be turned way up and distort. My opinion.

I think that would be pushing it. They sound great, but that's in a relatively closed environment. Take a look at a speaker brand called energy take. They are Inexpensive, and an incredible bargain. You would need an amp, but you could try finding a cheap used one. Have fun!

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

The SB 120 is plenty loud enough for a patio, however, it does not have a lot of bass. The mids and highs are clear and loud. If there is a Sam's Club near you they may have one you could listen to in the store.

These speakers are loud and have a steady flow of 1000w powered by a decent amp which can deliver 1200-1500w steady these will sound amazing. Add a SUB under each one to balance the sound output between High Mids and Lows. I would suggest changing the tweeter for more crisp sound as you are using these for ROCK. In a nightclub of 100x100 FT 2 of these with 2 subs, can do plenty of damage

Yes, it is more than adequate. I use the speakers outdoors near the pool area. I purchased this at a discounted price compared to current price.

My experience out in my yard and in a park have both been positive. I would recommend these for smaller groups and especially for the ease of transfer. Do not plan on these speakers being a replacement for a formal PA system unless you have more than one set with speaker stands. Wind has not decreased the clarity of the sound. I would say the range of sound in an open field without a crowd would be up to 40 yards while maintaining separation and depth for music and articulation for speaking. Please let me know what your experience was.

These are great speakers but are better served as floor monitors or front of house at small venues. For 200-500 people in a church I'd recommend something bigger

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.

Yes they would but y would u spend the money for outdoor speakers if your going to use them inside?

I use these on my patio outside. I've been using 200 watts and 50 feet of speaker cable, they seem to work just fine, I did add a 10" powered sub woofer to enhance the bass. I can't say I've pushed them to their max.. I have neighbors that I like. the speakers work for me in my application.

I use it for a dance classroom at gym for about 100 people. If the 300 are just speaking/lecture kinda activity it would, i doubt it would work if its a loud crowd - NOTE: you also need a decent enough amp

I think this would work fine for playing movies outdoors. I use it mostly for Zumba (indoors), but I have used it outdoors and it still plenty loud. I connect to my laptop. You just need a aux cable (not included). It is kind of heavy, so if you have to carry it long distances, I would pick up a luggage cart so you can pull it.

I think you'll like them. I have one pair mounted up high in my covered 16' x 32' front porch and they're hooked up to a 100W Gerard receiver. I enjoy music from these speakers over 200 ft away while I'm working out in the yard.

If you are looking to play background music at a moderate volume than this should be sufficient. If you want to have a dance party than you may want something bigger.

I have speakers attached for full room sound... I remember the speakers worked well - this is a small room 10X13 should be fine... I would check it out now... but I'm traveling.

It would surely work for an outdoor party. If you want something that will blast your guest with sound, this will not be for you. This speaker will produce good sound for any type music. Including Jazz and Classical music.

I agree with the previous responses, if you are looking for some music on your patio or deck for a BBQ or other gathering this should fit the bill just fine. If you have a half-acre or larger area and you're hoping to have a rocking dance party and don't want to hire a DJ this will not do the job.
