Q: Can I install these speakers under a covered patio? No sunlight/rain

A: Hi, Thanks for the question. Yes, the Sonance VP86R speakers can work outside as you describe; however, they are not designed to be used in areas that would expose them to excessive heat, cold, water, moisture, etc. Installing the speakers in a place that is open to outside elements could shorten the speaker's expected usable life so I cannot recommend them for outdoor use. We do have a speaker that is designed specifically for harsh environments; it's our Visual Performance Extreme line of speakers, which can be viewed here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/searchpage.jsp?st=Sonance+extreme+&_dyncharset=UTF-8&_dynSessConf=&id=pcat17071&type=page&sc=Global&cp=1&nrp=&sp=&qp=&list=n&af=true&iht=y&usc=All+Categories&ks=960&keys=keys We have engineered these speakers to live in/withstand the outside elements.
