Can these speakers be mounted in an outside covered lanai ceiling in Florida?--it would be protected from any rain?

I have ours installed outside. They are under a covered patio and go into a protected portion of the ceiling. Have the installed for over a year and no issues.

Sure. That is how I have them installed. However mine are under a patio cover. I wouldn't use them in the weather.

I have them installed on my boat. They really do not get direct water to them. But they do get moisture on a daily basis. They may get wet here in there when were running but that's about it. I've had no issues to date. But I'm not sure if they would work for your application. The speakers are quite heavy.

As long as they're not directly exposed to the rain or snow I wouldn't see why not. Temperature changes and moisture would probably cause some harm but my guess is that they'd last at least several years. If in doubt buy outdoor speakers.

Hello Jeanette. Yes, these speakers are designed for outdoor use. When properly installed the speaker(s) can withstand light showers, or water and moisture contact, as well as direct sunlight.

yes you can definatly use them for that purpose. They have very good sound. they however should not be left outside in anything more than a shower. If ther rain is significate they will have sound problems and water will get inside them.

They come with brackets for hanging. I have mine hung from my patio ceiling. I made sure mine were hung so that rain would not get on them. Also, you may need an outdoor extension cord. The cord used to power the speakers is only about 6 foot long. These are really great sounding speakers and pair really easy to my IPad and and IPhone.

I would not mount them on the outside just for the reason that it would shorten the life of the fan as it would more than likely get water in it even if it were protected. If your opening is large enough to trim a little of the sheet metal from the edges of the fan and mount it "recessed" from the outside wall face a few inches it will be out of the weather especially with a decorative cover. That is the method I used and have had no issues.

They are standard auto speakers. I doubt they would handle the rain/snow elements.

This speaker isn't designed to be exposed to direct water contact; so I would buy some waterproof speakers made for an outdoor environment. Do a search for marine speakers you will find some at a reasonable price.

I ordered these speakers and mounted them under my pontoon boat. My pontoon has a great amount of speed for it has an inboard/outboard motor. Because of this, these speakers get extremely wet and still perform well. I am not sure about humidity within a shower but as far as getting wet, they should perform well.

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.

I would say more so than most speakers but the controls are exposed on the back. You would not want moisture to collect on the back of the unit at all. You could cover the back with a tarp or something protective but then I would expect heat to be an issue.

These speakers are not designed for outdoor use. Try the Bose 151 for outdoor use. The are surface mount but sound very good

I have them underneath the eaves of my roof so they're partially sheltered. My guess that they would be OK with no protection from the weather. My only concern would be water getting into the battery compartment. Some type of protective weatherproof tape over the opening would work.

The manufacturer ships different grills for indoor or outdoor use. From my long history with these and related model of speakers, I'd advise keeping them pitched downward and in a way that avoids direct spraying of rain, sprinklers, etc.

yes the can be mounted in the ceiling but the round speakers look good in the ceiling and perform very well.buy the 8 inch JBL round speaker and enjoy the sound.
