Amazon.com Product Description
Perfect for mounting under eaves or in a partially covered deck or patio, Jensen's J052W indoor/outdoor speakers would also give you quality sound indoors, positioned on a shelf or on individual stands (not included). You can even use them as surround speakers for a home theater (or, with 2 pairs, as front and surround). Despite their small stature (about 7 inches wide by 10 inches tall), the J052Ws each feature a 5.25-inch polypropylene woofer and .5-inch ferrofluid-cooled dome tweeter and can handle up to 125 watts per channel from your integrated amplifier or surround receiver. They have decent bass output for their size (reaching down below 60 Hz), and their weather-resistant ABS plastic enclosures will endure years of use, indoors or out.

 Great Speaker - Great Price June 21, 2008
We use these speakers out by the pool. This is the third season with them and they sound just as good as the day I bought them!!! Would highly recommend.
Jensen Speakers March 5, 2008
I bought these speakers to replace the speakers on an old but good Panasonic stereo. I wanted to move furniture around and by getting these speakers I was able to wall-mount them. I am very happy with the sound quality and they really have added to my enjoyment of my stereo. The sound is very clear and they have served my purpose very well. A good buy in my opinion.
 Does the job, but does not attempt to make hifi music. November 17, 2007

First the virtues: 1. Easy to connect good size wiring to these. 2. They are good, functional all weather speakers. 3. The sound is not terrible.
Now the Vices: 1. The wall mount hardware goes on and off easily enough, but the brackets block the very essential input terminals and sound switch on the back. Totally frustrating when actually mounting and wiring the speakers! It's as if idiots designed this...no one who actually had to mount these outside (on a ladder, usually!) would ever want to contend with this awkward affair where one must twist and crane and Quasimodo oneself in order to route and mount the wiring.
2. Music played through these speakers will impress only those unfortunate souls who have suffered hearing loss or who are used to listening to inexpensive boom-boxes. Wait, some boom-boxes actually have more low frequency punch than these speakers. But they are waterproof.
3. I would have paid more for a wireless version of these. At the time I was searching, I could not find any wireless outdoor speakers, except the giant green mushroom style ones that are supposed to hide in a garden...and really, I might have gone there, but how can one camoflage a giant green mushroom that looks like plastic? That's ridiculous stealth, and I for one would rather just admit to the world that the outdoor speakers are...well...you know...speakers.
So, as you can see, the virtues and vices balance out in the end, and so I think the rating of 3 out of 5 is fair. They are priced about where they should be, and likely will last years, so long as one does not believe that they are rock concert monitors and blast them to death with more than maybe 60 Watts or so. I put automatically resetting circuit breakers in series with the signal, so, in the event of too much of a good thing, they will protect the speakers. I would not exceed .7 amperes of current on the fuse or autobreakers. Oh, and for the dimwits who tagged these speakers, let me be totally clear: THEY ARE NOT WIRELESS!
 Working fine outdoors November 10, 2007
These speakers have been outdoors (but out of the rain) for a year now, with temperatures below zero and near 100, high humidity, birds nesting on them, even spiders trying to get inside to nest. They still sound fine.
Jacuzzi speakers September 13, 2007
I purchased these speakers for my outdoor patio, which is where my Jacuzzi is. I get in the Jacuzzi everyday and wanted to connect a pair of speakers to my bedroom's home theater system, which allegedly pumps out 125 watts per channel...although I seriously doubt it is quite that high. At any rate, these speakers are perfect for the task, especially given the price. Sure I could have bought a more "hi-fi" speaker pair, but these are outdoor speakers and with the Jacuzzi running, etc. the application is not meant to be "serious" listening. I've had them for about 6 months, and they have stood up just fine, and they sound great. They don't have super bass, but I suspect that is because my surround system has a sub and they don't get the lows. Considering the price, would buy them again and again. FYI...impedance on these is 4 ohms...I was concerned because I didn't want to damage my surround sound system which has 4 ohm speakers and these were rated at 4-8 ohms. I put these on an A/B switch on my surround sound system so that I could turn on and off my outside speakers and also so that I wouldn't screw up my system by having improper impedance. When I put my ohm meter on them, they measured at exactly 4 ohms. So now I just switch my system to stereo mode, and turn my A/B switch to B and play the outside speakers only (with sub of course - but it is in my bedroom). When I am done outside, I turn the switch back to A (the original front speakers), and switch the system back into surround mode, and all 5 speakers are on.
