“We're putting in a pool. The 6.1 system seems to be a good solution to cover the fenced in pool area in our backyard. How is the bass from the sub? I'm not looking to blow out the neighbors, but I love playing music, and just want a high qual. sound”

The bass from the system is deceptively good at higher volume levels but at low volume it is anemic. It especially becomes apparent that the midrange is weak if you try to use the system for something with dialogue like a movie. The upside is that with a little bit of knowledge and proper wiring, you can hook up the sub to a separate amp if it is not enough power and just be aware of the sound levels it is capable of so you don’t accidentally overload it. I installed the sub near the fence so it does a better job projecting the sound across the yard but the best sound is either right next to the house or close to the sub because of the acoustics of my yard. I may install a separate buried powered sub somewhere else in the yard and use the sub pre-out of the connect amp if I find the bass still isn’t to my liking. For music at high volume it is sufficient for now to keep up with the rest of the system as background music.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.These would be a great choice for around the pool. We also have these around our pool and love them. The mids/highs are crystal clear and the bass completes the sound nicely. To answer your question you will not be rattling the dishes of the neighbor's house when the bass hits. Instead, you will just have the deeper notes to complement the mid/highs. I would say the bass can be heard about 30 feet (60 feet diameter) from each side of the bass location. Again nothing too overpowering.
