Interesting
What do you party animals think about these speakers' SPL:
Maximum SPL @ 1m3 Short-Term: 118 dB; Long-Term: 112 dB
How wild and big outdoor parties are they capable of?
Attaches jbl's own information about the speaker.
Thanks. How many people have speakers hooked up outside? Maybe I'm just an oddball, but appears to be quite uncommon IMO.

I do. So do my in laws. Maybe more common here than other places. I am sure a lot of CI firms use outdoor speakers to give the package a little boost.Thanks. How many people have speakers hooked up outside? Maybe I'm just an oddball, but appears to be quite uncommon IMO.
OT, but where do Germans / Europeans truck beer in bulk? Saw these leaving a Bavarian brewery a couple weeks ago. All the US breweries I have visited bottle and package.Is this enough beer?

Thanks Amir. Still searching for the right one I suppose.

I am taking out the pool and putting in a patio in the coming months because I worry about my little kids, and I will definitely be running a couple more speakers out there too. I might just get JBL party speakers or something. Still need to work it out... and see more reviews.

Kentucky bourbon distilleries transport and export in bulk to consolidate bottling, and because Aussies can mixed drinks like bourbon and cola, among other reasons.
@sam_adams and the @617 area code, but that crab really ought to be a lobster to match the area!
Yes I am in Somerville. The birthplace of democracy and sometimes opiates.done that once before... Pretty good stuff! Also - are you in the Boston area, by chance? Guessing from your user name.
I’ve always wondered what the ideal spinorama would be for an outdoor speaker. The “in room response” often doesn’t make sense as these speakers may be mounted to the back of your house 10 feet off the ground with a back plane but no ground plane or side wall reflections to speak of,
It seems to me that on axis response and a plethora of bass to compensate for the lack of room boundary gain may be ideal response for an outdoor speaker
How about a bbq party listening test to figure this out?

Nice, I'm in Arlington, just a town over!Yes I am in Somerville. The birthplace of democracy and sometimes opiates.
I have a pair on my side porch. Use them all the time. Have always had outdoor speakers, hence the need for Zone 2!Thanks. How many people have speakers hooked up outside? Maybe I'm just an oddball, but appears to be quite uncommon IMO.
Why keep them in the garage while you can keep them in the ground all the timeOf course, subwoofers.
I you have room for a couple of fat big a..s ugly PA speakers in your garage that can be brought out at parties then maybe you should go bigger. Maybe used ugly PA speakers that can withstand beatings (literally if you talk about pretty wild parties outdoors). I have a feeling that when the beer flows, it's SPL that matters and not good hifi, high end listening that applies.
The JBL are perhaps perfect for little more quiet parties when the middle class in the middle class area gathers for a medium-nice medium-volume loud party outdoors.
Edit:
Joking aside. Those JBLs are probably good to use outdoors but I am actually interested in a little more tangible aspects:
How durable are they? Short-circuit protection, fuses?
How can they withstand moisture?
Is the speaker grill really a protection or mostly for the sake of looks?
Edit 2
It was just read what JBL themselves says so then it became a little more clarifying . See attached pictures.
