GKeele 4/24/2013 7:43:55 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Great sound from an outdoor speaker Pros: -Sturdy, well made -Sound quality is superb. Very clear music reproduction. -Easy to install and position to maximize sound quality -Super fast shipping -Attractive speaker Cons: -Speaker connection terminals are a bit close together, although using some sturdy banana plugs solved this minor problem. -Some may find bass response lacking, however, for an outdoor speaker these produce decent low-end. Other Thoughts: I installed two of these AW5500's under my eave over my backyard patio. Installation was a breeze. I used two drywall/wood anchors with screws for each speaker mount and they are not going anywhere. I used 14 gauge CL2 rated speaker wire. The sound quality is really nice, especially from an outdoor speaker. I will actually listen to new music outside on my patio now, rather than just having music as ambient background sound. I wired a subwoofer cable along with the speaker wire and use an old Yamaha 10 inch subwoofer to help boost the bass when I want some seriously good sounding tunes. Without the subwoofer, the low bass is a bit lacking for my taste. Still, most will find that these speakers faithfully reproduce a wide range of music. Buy these if you want quality sound for your outdoor space. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
