Otherwise these are awesome sounding speakers. I just wanted to let people know so they can avoid the water issue. I bought these almost two years ago and have sent a total of three speakers back for replacement because they filled up with water outside. The rep at Polk audio told me to put teflon tape on the threads where the mounting knobs screw into the speakers.
Good speakers, good sound. My music source right now is only from a Delphi SkyFi2 XM satellite radio using a stereo docking adaptor. The speakers are connected to a TEAC AG-790 amp using 16/4 speaker wire so I can choose which set I want to use (or both).
I was concerned when the box arrived with a dent in one side. I installed them under the eves of my patio horizontally rather than vertically to be able to aim the music for the desired coverage. These speakers are great with clear sound and plenty of power.
The mounting instructions said to mount the speakers down a little from the underside of the eves to reduce the bass effect so that's what I did and got a good balanced sound.

No harm to the speaker itself.
The sound is warm and full. I put a pair of these on my back deck, and connected it to my Yamaha RX-V3900's second zone. I also have the suggested in-wall speakers in a 5.1 surround sound setup in my living room - another fantastic performer. Absolutely do not hesitate to buy these speakers. I was absolutely blown away - and so were the rest of my friends. I'm no audiophile, but I am a music lover.
I added a subwoofer and it is impressive. I actually used these speakers inside because I needed something in white. They have good sound quality.
We live on the ocean and plan to replace them every couple years. The price tag was great for the average sound. I saved $100+ buying them through Amazon.
