Building an outdoor sound system can be a daunting task, but with the right equipment and some planning, it can be a fun project. This guide will walk you through the basics of setting up an outdoor sound system, from choosing your equipment to installing it properly.<\/p>\n
What is the difference between an indoor sound system and an outdoor sound system?<\/p>\n
As you might have guessed, the main difference is that an outdoor sound system is exposed to the surrounding environment. Any equipment exposed to rain, dust, moisture, direct sunlight (UV rays), or wind can be damaged if not properly protected. Outdoor speakers are also usually mounted at higher elevations (like a deck) and will be more susceptible to airborne sound (noise from the wind).<\/p>\n

A typical, medium-sized backyard system includes two or four speakers, each with its own dedicated amplifier. This can be used in combination with an existing indoor sound system. In addition, you will need a source of music (a receiver or an iPod dock) and a speaker wire for each speaker.<\/p>\n
Outdoor speakers are usually divided into two types: weatherproof and waterproof. Weatherproof outdoor speakers can be used in almost all settings, including on the deck or in the backyard. They offer good sound quality for an affordable price.<\/p>\n
Waterproof outdoor speakers are generally more expensive than their weatherproof counterparts. They are designed to be used in the harshest climates, including near or directly in water. Their design is usually sleeker and more compact than weatherproof speakers.<\/p>\n
Ideally, you want to power your speakers with the same amplifier that powers your indoor speakers, which means that you can just run one set of speaker wires. If you don’t have an amplifier in your house, the easiest way to power outdoor speakers is with a separate amplifier for each speaker.<\/p>\n
