Back Porch Speaker Install

[Patrick Walker]

I received a set of Thonet and Vander Ratsel BT speakers as an unexpected gift. I have a covered back porch where I could mount them out of precipitation, but there is no way to protect against temperature and humidity changes. These are not labeled as outdoor speakers... would any recommend against or for using these on a covered back porch? I don't really have anywhere else in my house to put them where they would be more useful.

I would not setup them there as they have electronics in them and they are not designed to be in such conditions.

I don’t see any harm in using them on the porch, but I sure wouldn’t leave them out there all the time.

I don't know about you, but I would not leave them out there; they will eventually rot. I also would not want to bring them out, and bring them in for different seasons. That's a royal pain in the butt. Just buy a pair of Weatherproof speakers & be done with it.
