    Default Outdoor Speakers and Wire?

    Hey guys, I am doing my rooftop deck which includes 2 fire pits, full kitchen and hot tub. I have to have music for entertaining and i am unware of outdoor speaker companies.

    I'll need approx 6 speakers, 2 of which i would like flushmounted. The other 4 are going to be exposed so I would like to find something that has some "style."

    The speakers definitely need to be of quality. I am also unaware of the wire that should be used.

    If any of you guys has experience with this I would appreciate any advice!

    Thanks

    Jon

    for cable, you want to find outdoor rated, direct bury.

    At least thats what I would use/do use.

    Try to find raintight seals too. I have no of my electrician stuff at this house, but when i go back to the other, i can get you more details

    I went with some Bose knockoffs and I was pleasantly surprised. I just couldn't imagine putting money in the weather.

    I have some "buried" outdoor speakers, from Bose (freespace 51). They sound great (for a wide open space), and you could hide them in the center of Large Flowerpots.. I have friends who've done this, and you cannot see them, yet they sound incredible...

    I am a Focal whore, so that is what I would recommend.
    outdoor:
    Outdoor loudspeakers Focal Chorus OD 706 V
    flush mounted in-wall:
    Chorus IW 706 V - In-Wall hifi loudspeakers
