Monoprice Outdoor 2.1 Speaker System with 8-inch Subwoofer and 2.5-inch Satellites (3 piece) - Sycamore Series

This is a great speaker setup for the backyard. The build quality is pretty good, and it sound very good. Is it audiophile, HiFi quality? No. but these are not supposed to be that. They do a great job in filling our patio with nice sound and volume level. I went ahead and get the additional pair of satellites speakers.

I needed bass outside. Had great speakers but they just couldn't pump out a lot of bass especially at lower volumes. We live in a neighborhood so there are houses (and neighbors) 100 feet or so from us. Can't crank up the volume to 11. HOWEVER, we can crank up the bass with this sub. We have it hooked to its own 300W amp so we can keep it at a higher level and always have great bass response. We looked at others that were $500 or more. I am sure they would have worked, but I can't imagine them sounding any better. The bass is deep and rich and has a great punch. Our back yard is about 150' wide with a big pool in the middle. The sub It is buried way over off the deep end of the pool. (You can hear it under water.) You (We...) can't tell where the bass is coming from. It saturates the whole back yard. It is pretty amazing. ALMOST bought a second one initially, but now I am glad I did not. It would be too much bass for us. We bought the satellite speakers but did not use them. Too small for our back yard. They sound decent, but just don't have the ability to punch out a lot of sound. I instead mounted them on the dash of our golf cart. Perfect!
