Purchased this product for a permanent installation on the face of a brick wall.
Feature that I was surprised to find and like - I ran permanent wiring from inside the house through an equalizer to the powered speakers. Worked great and the equalizer gave me the ability to customize the sound I was looking for. What surprised me was that although the speakers are hardwired and may have a signal coming in on the input, you can connect with Bluetooth on your mobile device and it overrides the hardwire connection. This can be great but if you don't forget to disconnect your wireless Bluetooth in the Settings and use the "Forget this Device", every time you come into range, your Bluetooth device will connect and take over in place of the signal coming in from the hardwire connection. Provides flexibility but just need to remember that aspect.
For this permanent installation and being that it is about 10ft in the air, I also added a switched outlet beside the powered speaker. I used a 2 gang box and recessed flush with the outer brick wall. One side was the switched outlet and the other side was my RCA audio connectors. Worked out great.
Many other reviews had indicated problems with the powered speaker being damager due to water getting into the connection ports. My solution - I connected all of my planned wires and masked off around the recessed connection area. I set the volume to about 90% which would help prevent overdriving and clipping the audio signal. I then used a finger cot (can use the tip of a latex glove finger) to slide over the volume control knob to seal it. I then applied many coats of white PlastiDip to provide a good seal. Took a little time because of the 30 min cure time between coats. This sealed everything nicely. Then I used a little expandable foam to fill the rest of the recessed area. This serves 2 purposes. It keeps water from ponding in the recessed area given the speakers will be facing downward and it provides stability to the connection points to keep from breaking the seal. I chose coating with PlastiDip first because it technically is removable by peeling and if I ever needed to get back to a connection, the expandable foam could be removed easier. Using the latex over the volume knob allows the ability to get back to the know later if I need to and kept the PlastiDip from migrating under the knob which would prevent it from being able to be turned. I used the expandable foam that is for the small cracks so that it would not expand as much. Right after filling the cavity, I used a damp paper towel to smooth the surface and wipe away excess so that the finished foam seal was just barely above surface. Worked out great! I let it sit for a day before powering it up just to make sure there were no solvents that had not dried from the PlastiDip or Foam that could have gotten under the connector board.
The speaker wire going to the passive speaker was way too short like everyone else had stated. Knowing this in advance, I had already planned to extend it another 10 feet. For the secondary (passive) speaker, I put the rubber cover over the connections and then used foil HVAC duct tape to seal the cover area.
For my circumstances, I am outputting my audio from my TV (mostly for music channels) but my TV out is a constant volume level. I am using a headphone amplifier to work as my volume control which is connected between my Equalizer and powered speaker. Out from TV to equalizer to headphone amp to powered speakers. Volume outside is way more than I had originally expected, in fact it was actually too loud thus I had to use the headphone amp in order to reduce the input. The EQ had a gain control but would not go low enough. Overall, Great sound response. If just using the Bluetooth connection to a mobile device, the volume is a lot lower and at full gain on your mobile device, you will most likely hear some clipping of the audio signal (distortion). I used a secondary app on my phone to provide the custom equalizer and gain control. Works fine. (I used the Behringer AMP800 and the Behringer MINIFBQ 800)
Overall, I was worried initially when I read through the various reviews but when I stepped back and analyzed what was being said, the bulk of the issues were regarding the seal of the connection area and potentially lower than expected volume when using a mobile device. There were no real complaints regarding sound quality that I had not already considered. Even without the EQ in the loop, the sound quality was fine for an outdoor speaker. At the end of the day, I have to give it 5 stars for surpassing my expectations. Now for longevity - we shall see.

Good speakers, perfect for me
I purchased these to attach to an old non-smart TV, with a very weak sound amplifier, in my home gym (watch the news when cycling, cable music when weightlifting).Originally, I bought less expensive speakers of the same brand, without a separate volume control, thinking I could adjust it with the TV volume control, but it doesn't work that way, only having one volume...full blast!So, I went to these, strictly for the volume control feature, as I really didn't need anything this large or sophisticated.However, I'm very glad I did, as the sound is much more robust, full, and precise, than the first set, powerful, too, really quite excellent.They work well for my application, mounted pretty easily, and have plenty of volume (control knob is fine, if somewhat inaccessible), inside anyway, can't speak to outside, or any of the other features, such as waterproofness, etc.The included standard size RCA cable the instructions said to thread thru the hole in the bracket didn't fit, too large.Further, even if they had, and you put them thru, they'd be between the bracket and the wall, requiring the bracket to be loose and unstable, as opposed to flush against the wall.I just plugged them in, stapled the cables to the wall, and bundled the excess behind, between the speaker and the bracket, as I had to use longer cables, due to the greater space between I required, than those included.As the speakers are high on the wall, I have to use a stepstool every time I need to modify the volume, and then can do it only by touch, since it's on the back.I suggest the volume control be detented (have click stops), so you're able to return to the same settings, for various, different times.It would also be nice to have the option of a volume control, with a wire, so it could be mounted lower on the wall, separately, and within easy reach.These aspects of the design needs modification by the manufacturer, in my opinion.Other than these small things, I recommend them, they're pretty nice!4/15/24 UPDATE: Downgraded to 3 stars, as when using it hardwired, with RCA cables, Blutooth remains active, randomly stops playing for a few minutes, apparently scannin g for a signal, then starts playing again. Pyle customer service offered no solution to this problem. This is a design flaw, as using it with RCA cables should overide & disable the Blutooth, or they should include a separate switch to do so.
