Q: What is the speaker range?

A: Frequency response: 45Hz - 30kHz Sensitivity: 91dB Impedance: 4 or 8 ohms These are wired speakers

Q: Will the speakers survive through rain

A: I bought a pair for my pool and they did not last a year outside, I sent them in for repair under warranty and still only got about six more months out of them. They were mounted on the deck and covered when not in use. They did sound great when they worked but for a outdoor speaker i would think they should last longer then a year.

Q: Wanted to pair a Sub with this, any recommendations?

A: If placing outdoors, consider the Polk Audio Atrium Sub100 outdoor subwoofer.

Q: Where is the serial number located?

A: Hello, the serial number is located near the speaker's binding post.

Q: Does the mounting brackets come with the speakers?

A: Yes, mounting brackets are included.

Q: Are they Bluetooth?

A: The speakers are not ,we hooked them to a older stereo system with a google audio chrome and use it Bluetooth that way
