Outdoor Garage Speakers


I presently have Bose AM 5 series one speakers mounted on my garage and want to upgrade. I definitely need more bass but don't want to go too big. They are mounted underneath on sides of garage. I am running 130 watts into them. My yard is roughly 400 square feet of decking plus rest of yard. Any suggestion greatly appreciated.......

Budget is approx half $500.

Just play something the neighbors might enjoy occasionally....;) *L*

My take on 'cheap thrills'...  I had 3 pairs of inexpensive Pioneer bookshelf speakers that I mounted into a vertical 'line array' pair.  Think 'concert stack'...

Wired together, they run around 5~6 ohms which makes for a nice load for the receiver that drives them.  They're hung in my shop and have no problem being heard over the various saws and machinery.  Outdoors I'd hang them under the eves if the building had any.  I think I could blow out the garage band that practices occasionally next door (50 yds. away, plays 6, sings 3....).

They're not specifically 'outdoor', but cheap enough that I'd not shed tears over them.  And adding a small shed roof over them wouldn't be a major physical event...

But I 'do' stuff like that....just because I can...*G*
