Bathroom speaker setup.

Hi, first time posting here, thought I might ask for some advice if that's alright.

I'm using an Onkyo 805 receiver, which has zones for secondary speakers. I was thinking about putting a speaker into my bathroom and a speaker onto my back porch. They'll both have to be waterproof. Especially for the bathroom setup, sound quality is not a top priority, rather a nice bonus because I will be listening to it while in the shower anyway. Wireless is preferable for the patio setup, and decent sound would be preferable there.

So basically, I'm trying to compose a shopping list.

A speaker for the bathroom. Not looking to spend over 80 bucks on this. It isn't going to be in the shower itself but the room gets very moist obviously and it might get splashed frequently

A speakerwire that would be favorable for this setup.

Do I need some sort of... special plug if I'm going to be exposing it to moisture? Like a banana plug. Obviously being compatable with the speaker is important in this manner.

For the porch... a wireless speaker, possibly one that can plug into an standard outlet as opposed to needing batteries. It is only going to be really 15ish feet away from my receiever, but I'd prefer something that can maintain good sound quality very far as overkill. Obviously going to be more expensive than the bathroom speaker, but not looking to deck this out.

A connection between the receiver and the transmitter for the wireless speaker. Obviously depending on what the transmitter is. If it's just a phono plug... can I just cut off the end of one and plug it into the speaker, ext?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Got it all setup. Using some cheapo insignias for the deck and a shower radio + FM transmitter for the shower.
