A: AnswerFrequency response: 45Hz - 30kHz Sensitivity: 91dB Impedance: 4 or 8 ohms These are wired speakersAnswered by FeyBBY
Q: QuestionWill the speakers survive through rain(4 answers)
A: AnswerI 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.

Solid satellite speakers for my 5.1 system
I mounted two of these above/behind the listener/viewer. (Indoors) They have a very strong output, including bass. I often forget they are there until music or a movie call for them, but THEN they get my attention! Exactly the effect I was looking for when I designed my system. I've thought about adding a few for the backyard, but I'm afraid I'd blow the neighbors away. :-)

Just what I wanted
I did a lot of research on some outdoor speaker and based on the previous reviews i went with these and I love them. I have them hooked up to Zone 2 of my Yamaha receiver and i can be outside and change the song, input, and volume all from my iPhone. I had the speakers turned down and went to the end of my yard and you could still hear them which is great.

DefTech AW5500
Went between these and the DefTech 6500's. These are used around our new pool so I went with the 5500. Man I LOVE them. Running through a Denon Amp and the sound is amazing. Would 100% buy again. I have a lot of DefTech and never have I been wrong getting them. Quality!
