Hey All,
Newby here. I have a question that i need help with rather quickly.
I just had an outdoor patio gable roof built with the standard "A-frame" cathedral ceilings. Since this is going to be an outdoor socializing area, one of my wishes was to have a speaker/stereo system.
The tongue and groove ceiling is not installed yet but the electric and wires are going in within the next few days and i need to make up my mind rather quickly. The roof itself is around 18'x18'. I was thinking 4 in ceiling speakers, does that sound right? I am struggling finding outdoor exterior in ceiling speakers. I have read that sound quality is not the greatest in an outdoor setting so im not looking to go too crazy with these. Do you guys suggest the in-ceilings or the larger mounted out door speakers in each of the 4 corners?
Next question is, do you have any suggestions for a good receiver to run these speakers? Should the receiver be stationed inside the house? I really wanted a bluetooth/wifi enabled receiver to stream through my phone - any suggestions? Just as an fyi, in addition to the 4 speakers on the roof, i may add 2 more in another part of the back area that isnt under cover.
Any other suggestions are welcome. Especially since all the wiring is going in now. The only other idea i had was to have some type of volume knob outside where i can control it if need be...
