I spend a lot of time in the back yard and am just starting the search for a quality outdoor speaker system and amp/ receiver that can all be mounted on the back of my home and controlled either via WIFI (preferred) or via Bluetooth from a phone.
The plan is to mount the amp and speakers under the 2' overhang above the lower patio, but could mount the amp/receiver in the laundry room adjacent to the patio and run speaker cables through the exterior wall, but would prefer to mount everything under that overhang, outside. 110v power isn't an issue in either location, and I don't mind running speaker wires so wireless speakers aren't necessary.
SONOS seems to have a highly rated setup, but read some of the reviews mentioned the amp/receiver has to be inside. https://www.crutchfield.com/S-n2y6oxh2gKM/p_700ODA/Sonos-Outdoor-Speaker-Bundle.html
Best Buy has this for under 1K, still seems steep for what it is, but would go for it if the amp / receiver works well and can be mounted outside.
Any advise will be appreciated!
