can i run this to outdoor speakers? Is it weather/water proof?

It is completely sealed and the isolation is thick enough, so I guess there is no problem to use this cable with outdoor speakers. However I would use some banana plugs terminals (if your speakers accept them) to protect the exposed cooper from the weather and bugs and prolong the life of the connection.

I don't know. I looked for specs but couldn't find anything. To me, it does not appear to have a jacket that could be 'officially' rated for UV light (sunlight) protection nor direct underground burial.All that said, I've used cable similar to this for outdoor speakers and it lasted for years. It was for my personal use and not a professional installation.

Speaker wires are usually vinyl clad, which does not weather well. Best to get some outdoor rated wire so it will last longer, unless this is a temporary application.

Sound carries well on beach.i don't think you may hook up speakers but you could hook up another unit. Need a separate power source for speakers , I think this is all accurate info.

The power source it self is not waterproof,however if you keep it in or under a dry and cool area then yes you can use it out doors. You will have to waterproof the power source and your connection your self.Hope this helps and good luck

Depends on the uses you wish to make of the speakers. For a meal on a deck in the summer, for a get-together with friends in not too large a space, the speakers will be quite sufficient. I suppose your question really involves what the range for the sound would be outside. I have no idea about how far the sound would travel outside; the answer to that is beyond my expertise.

Our speakers were installed in a cooler and run off of a marine battery. We use it when we go canoeing. Our canoe was flipped and the cooler was floating down the river still playing music. They still work even after that. We have not had any problems. So in my opinion YES they are water proof!

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

I used these speakers for a outdoor application. They have lasted through several Ohio winters. Based on durability, sound quality and application I would not hesitate in using them for rear speakers in a surround sound application.

It is not one that can be left outside 24/7 and still remain functional. I use mine outside while I am in a hot tub. I have used it uncovered in snow. Covered in rain. It played for about 15 minutes in minus 10 degree weather but then stopped. Everything has limits. I bought this speaker to replace $300 wireless all weather speakers and I have no regrets.

they are not outdoor/weatherproof speakers so possibly IF the fairing prevents the speaker from direct rainwater exposure they would last a while. You could also look into waterproofing the cone and rubber surround to make them last longer- IDK a spray silicone sealer, a clear varnish, maybe....Longer term UV exposure would probably also break down the cone, rubber surround, and adhesives used to bond them together, depending on what, if any grille cloth the speaker grilles include -which depending on its density would provide some shielding from UV.

I am currently using this outside with a pair of Boston Acoustic outdoor speakers. In my application, the control is under a covered porch.

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

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.

I do not know but I doubt it. I expect that if the speaker were designed to be outdoor friendly on a permanent basis it would be advertised as such. I'm sure that for a few hours say for a party it would be fine.

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.

You can run some external speakers on the deck or patio with the addional B speakers. The type depends on your taste and costs. But if their outdoor you shouldn't have any issues finding good quality outdoor speakers. Hope I helped.

Yes! The speaker & power supply can be left out in any weather....and the speakers sound GREAT!

It is advertised as weatherproof. Mine is in my golf cart. The speakers and amp have been subject to indirect water from rain and drizzle, and I don't take any special precautions when I hose the cart out or give it an occasional thorough washing, including the amp.
