Jensen J052W Indoor / Outdoor 2-Way Speakers, White description
Perfect for mounting under eaves or in a partially covered deck or patio, Jensen's J052W indoor/outdoor speakers would also give you quality sound indoors, positioned on a shelf or on individual stands (not included). You can even use them as surround speakers for a home theater (or, with 2 pairs, as front and surround). Despite their small stature (about 7 inches wide by 10 inches tall), the J052Ws each feature a 5.25-inch polypropylene woofer and .5-inch ferrofluid-cooled dome tweeter and can handle up to 125 watts per channel from your integrated amplifier or surround receiver. They have decent bass output for their size (reaching down below 60 Hz), and their weather-resistant ABS plastic enclosures will endure years of use, indoors or out. |

Does the job, but does not attempt to make hifi music.

First the virtues: 1. Easy to connect good size wiring to these. 2. They are good, functional all weather speakers. 3. The sound is not terrible.
Now the Vices: 1. The wall mount hardware goes on and off easily enough, but the brackets block the very essential input terminals and sound switch on the back. Totally frustrating when actually mounting and wiring the speakers! It's as if idiots designed this...no one who actually had to mount these outside (on a ladder, usually!) would ever want to contend with this awkward affair where one must twist and crane and Quasimodo oneself in order to route and mount the wiring.
2. Music played through these speakers will impress only those unfortunate souls who have suffered hearing loss or who are used to listening to inexpensive boom-boxes. Wait, some boom-boxes actually have more low frequency punch than these speakers. But they are waterproof.
3. I would have paid more for a wireless version of these. At the time I was searching, I could not find any wireless outdoor speakers, except the giant green mushroom style ones that are supposed to hide in a garden...and really, I might have gone there, but how can one camoflage a giant green mushroom that looks like plastic? That's ridiculous stealth, and I for one would rather just admit to the world that the outdoor speakers are...well...you know...speakers.
So, as you can see, the virtues and vices balance out in the end, and so I think the rating of 3 out of 5 is fair. They are priced about where they should be, and likely will last years, so long as one does not believe that they are rock concert monitors and blast them to death with more than maybe 60 Watts or so. I put automatically resetting circuit breakers in series with the signal, so, in the event of too much of a good thing, they will protect the speakers. I would not exceed .7 amperes of current on the fuse or autobreakers. Oh, and for the dimwits who tagged these speakers, let me be totally clear: THEY ARE NOT WIRELESS!
