Acoustic Audio AA351B 2-Way Indoor Outdoor Speakers - Weatherproof

In this review the Acoustic Audio AA351B speakers are presented as a practical choice for anyone needing compact, weatherproof wired speakers for patios, decks or small indoor rooms. The biggest reason to buy is straightforward: they deliver surprisingly full-range sound from a small, durable ABS cabinet that mounts outdoors and can handle up to 250 watts peak per speaker, making them a flexible option for whole-house audio, backyard setups or bookshelf supplementing. Installation is simple with raw wire spring connectors and included mounting brackets.

Key Features

• Outdoor mountable wired design: Traditional passive speaker construction lets you drive these directly from any amp or receiver with raw speaker wire outputs for flexible placement.
• Weatherproof sealed cabinets: Black ABS enclosures with mounts and hardware resist rain, snow and sun so the speakers can stay outdoors year-round.
• Two-way drivers: The 3in poly mica woofers and.5in PEI dome tweeters provide a full-range frequency response from roughly 100Hz to 20kHz for clear highs and usable bass.
• Compact footprint: At about 6in x 4.25in x 4in each, the speakers are inconspicuous on a wall or shelf yet still deliver a louder output than their size suggests.
• Wide system compatibility: Compatible with any amp or receiver rated between 20 and 250 watts per channel and standard raw or CL3 speaker wire.

Who It's For

The AA351B is aimed at homeowners and small businesses that need an affordable, weather-resistant pair of wired speakers for patios, pool areas, small retail spaces or as part of a surround sound setup. Installers and DIYers will appreciate the included mounting brackets and simple wiring that works with most amplifiers and receivers.

Those who demand deep, room-shaking bass or hi-fi reference accuracy should look elsewhere; the compact 3in woofer and 100Hz low-end limit mean these are best used as small outdoor speakers or nearfield companions rather than primary stereo monitors for critical listening.

Pros & Cons

Cons
