Has anyone used these outdoors during the winter months? I am looking for a good set of speakers to mount on the pergola by the hot tub.

just put mine up but I plan on keeping them up all year. Im in PA so it will get crappy outside but they are "outdoor" speakers so if you can mount them under something for alittle protection they should be ok. They sound great for the $$ by the way.

Mine are within my sprinkler coverage, plus the rain and are fine. The only caution I would point out is if the sprinklers are aimed directly into the side of the speaker that could be a problem. My sprinklers are aimed high enough that they shower down on the speakers. Also I need to mention that I have replaced each of my speakers after around 5 years. I believe it's more due to the hot southern sun than water. For the price they have excellent sound. Hope this helps.

I would not recommend these for a Jeep. If you want some good speakers for your Jeep that are able to withstand being exposed to various weather conditions I would look at a set of 5 1/4" Pyle PDWR50B for the back and a set of 3 1/2" Pyle PDWR30B for the front. The Pioneers are great in my car but will not work for the eventual rainy day you will see in a topless Jeep. The Pyles are nice quality speakers and are "All-Weather" so you can leave the top down during brief showers etc.. The reasons I recommend the Pyles are (1) Great Name Brand (2) Wonderful Sound Quality (3) All Weather & Water Proof (4) Pricing is Reasonable (About $100 for Front & Back) I Hope this helps. You can see the speakers by doing a Bing or Google Search but I found these at onlinecarstereo.

I bought these speakers to attach to the back of my house to listen to music from a system inside my house. They have metal brackets that I mounted on the stucco outside my house and bracket allows you to adjust up and down. Personally, as long as you have some speaker wire they can be your speakers but these are designed to be used outside. In my opinion, it would be abnormal to mount these inside your house for a surround system but they would work. For my application they work awesome and I'm super happy with them. If you are going to use them indoors I would buy something smaller and made for indoors. I bought these speakers to attach to the back of my house to listen to music from a system inside my house.

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've had these speakers a couple of years now. They hang outside under a patio roof. I live in Florida and the speakers are exposed to a lot of heat and humidity. They blast good all around sound outside by the pool. They are very durable. They lack in bass fullness but for their size it is expected. I would buy them again.

I would say so. They are great speakers. I had a set for over 10 years, outside in FL, IL, then AZ. When one finally went, I replaced them with the same set. I have them in my yard now.

they work great under all conditions. I have used them outdoors in the winter time with no problem.

Are you using for indoor? I bought for outdoor movies. You definately want external speakers for this. I bought some cheap ones on recommendation first for about $50, and they were junk. Returned and bought Klipsch - ProMedia 2.1 Speaker System, and couldn't be happier. I use for outdoor movies, kids etc., and the sound is great. Projectors is a snap, couldn't be happier with the purchase, and the screen I bought as well. HDMI will cary the audio over. Not sure about the 3.5mm

This will be the first New York winter they'll be exposed to, so I'm not sure, I have them mounted under an eave on my rear deck and occasionally get wet and seem to be holding up just fine. Good sound quality, they fill the yard with sound I don't even push them very hard.

Have only used them over the lake in the warmer months. That is April though October in Maine. So have no helpful info for colder climes. Sorry!

Buy some shower caps and put them on when speakers are not in use. Take down in the winter to save them from excessive elements.

Outdoor speakers are weather resistant. NOT waterproof. They must be installed in an area that is protected from falling water. UV rays from the Sun will destroy anything it touches over time. Morning dew will not bother them. Occasional water will not harm them. But direct rain will undoubtedly harm any speakers. "Marine Grade" speakers are as close to waterproof as they come. "Marine Grade" speakers will resist a salt water environment. But even they must be rinsed off after a day at sea. My advice is that you find a place where your speakers will be protected from the rain & sun. Moisture & heat will not harm them. But direct water & direct sun will destroy anything. I live in Florida. I understand this better than anyone. Products which were advertised as indestructible, water proof, sun proof etc don't survive here in Florida. Again. Put these under an eve, overhang or other protection. Otherwise you will replace them in a couple of years.

Yes they should be able to handle the moisture, but I'm not sure about the temperature. I would recommed a true waterproof speaker.

That is good. I leave mines outside all year around and unplug when not using them. I'm always been nervous about leaving things plugged up when i'm not using them, especially outside. Enjoy the speakers.
