Customers recognize the 6-1/2" Indoor/Outdoor Speakers' exceptional sound quality, particularly the strong bass response and crisp highs. Many appreciate the ease of installation and the impressive volume these speakers produce, easily filling larger spaces. While some find the price point to be a significant factor, the overall positive feedback highlights the superior audio performance. The speakers' size is also noted, with some finding them larger than expected, while others appreciate the powerful sound from a relatively compact unit.
If you're looking for good outdoor these are them. Right out the box they sound great. Break them in a for few hours tho end they'll really start to impress. The resonator is hands down the most genius idea for these. Just make sure they go in a way where that side hits a wall and it will make huge impressions on you and your guest. I have 4 of these up high in my garage now as well... All I do is listen up music and they bang really well. I likely could've done with 2 in here but I just couldn't leave it alone. You won't get hair raising lows but still it's nice. Add a subwoofer and you're set. I used a definite technology sc2000. Really packs a punch for being just under 12x12x12. Again, you want these.

These Aw6500 look good and are very sturdy. Havent installed them yet. But i have heard them before and sound great. I cant wait to install them. Going with a Sonos amp to power them. Nice size not too bulky. The packaging is great and prevents them from getting damaged in shipping.

I purchased 6 of these for my small restaurant driven by AudioSource AMP 1200 in bridged mode (80 RMS watts @ 8-ohms). Music or TV audio plays through them 12 hours a day – 7 days a week (mind you I’m using these indoors not out). They are mounted 11ft high, angled down towards the customers; each speaker covers about 400 sq ft. of sound Mounting them was super easy and the speaker swivel helps aim them. They only weigh about 10lbs and can be mounted vertical or horizontally. I used 50lbs rated - metal drywall anchors to mount these speakers on my ½” thick drywalls (I mounted it vertically so that I can aim up\down) The sensitivity of these speakers are high (92db), which is a good thing in that they do not require a lot of power for them to get loud; therefor I only have them turned about 50% of the way up to produce 55-58db of background music. During sporting events, I’ll turn it up about 70% of the volume (producing about 82-85db) so that they can still be heard over the cheering crowd. Trust me these speaker can go very loud without much effort. With the amp that I have powering these, the highs and mids sound crystal clear and no distortion at high volumes. The wall facing 5.5" x 10" low pass radiator speaker produces some bass (tight punch), but quickly fades away the further you get from the speaker. The bass is better than its outdoor competitor, but you’ll need a subwoofer if you want the lower frequencies, there’s just no way around that fact. Designed for outdoors, I see no issues of these going bad anytime soon using indoors and the 5 year factory warranty is a huge plus. I did test the speakers out with my Denon AVR Receiver (100 watts RMS) at home and sounded fantastic for music and movies. The bass is a bit more present in a smaller 4 closed walled room, but I’d still recommend a subwoofer if you are in search of a bit more bass. I would highly recommend these speakers for a residential and commercial use. *( The decibel readings and volume gain percentages are calculated based off of a specific listening environment, room size, listening position, and equipment used to power the speakers. All which will differ with other users)
