Is the system loud enough to play loud music on an outdoor patio?

In a word? YES! Massive & deep sound - won't cover a football field, I don't think? But short of that, it RAWKS

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.

Not sure. It's loud enough that I fear my neighbors in my building will complain. But it's not a going power a huge lawn party. It's loud enough for a loud apartment party. It's a boom box on steroids.

The Speaker works well in most noise conditions. It is possible if the street noise is loud enough you might have a slightProblem hearing it clearly. So unless there is a lawn mower going close by you should be fine.

That largely depends on your amp equipment. If you have a good quality receiver with decent LFE technology, then yes, it will shake everything on your patio. But if you're using a cheapo $200 Sony receiver with junk parts, it might not sound as good, and might distort more. Get a good Onkyo or Harman Kardon receiver and you'll be ready to rock the porch.

I honestly think that you could play either electronic having the right connections for them..as for playing them in your back yard these speakers are great for any space..honestly worth the investment!

I'm using a Sonos amp. Making this an outside zone on my Sonos system. It sounds great.

They definitely will play loudly outdoors given enough power. I run mine with a NAD 60 watt power amp, placed against a wall and under a balcony. So mine get both wall and ceiling reinforcement. Freestanding, you will get less bass. Just turn it up more :)

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.

Yes, as long as the speakers are under the patio and not where water can get to the connections. It the speaker connections get wet then they could blow the speaker amp or the receiver. Place some electrical tape around the wire connections.

I think it is loud enough on a deck for sure. I would compare it to a boom box of equal power - just not stereo. Definitely not computer speaker volume. The speaker can be plugged either to a music player and/or AC power.

I Would Say So. I Have It Set Up In My Living Room. If I Crank It Up I Can Easily Hear It Through Out My House Which Is 1300Sqft. Just Get A Good Set Of Speakers.

Yes, if you keep it dry then it has enough juice to rock your patio. However, I am not sure why you want to spend $400 for just a subwoofer for your patio, when you can have an entire atrium sound system for $599. Polk Audio SAT30 (pair spkrs.) + SUB10 package costs $599.99. The SAT30s are amazing....you can hang them from the ceiling and they look like some kinda patio decor. The SUB on the other hand, looks like a plant stand. Of course the choice is yours.

I haven't tried the DK-KP80P outside but at only 22 WATS I doubt it will be loud enough for all your guests. Plus if you play it at maximum volume for too long the speakers might blow.

I love mine I use it outside on the deck and the sound is awesome. I would definitely recommend this.

In my opinion this speaker is ideal for a backyard party. If you are at a beach where the sound will have to compete with ocean waves in a completely open space, this is not the best option. You may need to rent a full sized sound system. Consider powering it with a generator. That way you won't wonder if the music is loud or clear enough. After all, you do want the music to be great for your event. Happy wedding!

The speakers are loud enough for indoor listening but not for outdoor use (such as in a big party setting or outdoor grill parties). You'll need something louder than this.

My installation is on an outside wall under a covered porch. There is plenty of volume. I get quite a bit of wind noise but have never tested the audio quality.
