My Outdoor Subwoofer

OK, one of my hobbies is audio equipment. I enjoy my pool and patio area, and so I have a pretty nice stereo system out there. I put the amps and the DirecTV receiver ( I get music from the DTV music channels) just inside the laundry room, and use a remote control extender to control it from outside.

I have Some Polk Audio all-weather speakers mounted on the back wall of the house, but they are small speakers without a lot of bass response. So I built an all-weather subwoofer to add the boom boom.

It has a 10" Polk automotive subwoofer mounted inside a box constructed of 3/4" plywood sealed and pained with several coats of black exterior enamel to protect it from the water. The speaker is inset into the box, and tilted slightly downward to be out of the rain. I plan to build a second one soon.

The sound is dang impressive for an outdoor system, it rocks! Good thing I live out in the woods or my neighbors would hate me. :Ninja

Looks great, could you help me set up a sound system by my pool?? I have some outdoor rock speakers and just need some help on connecting them to something, the receiver, the DirecTV box or heck even a boom box. I just don't know where to start. :-\\

I did buy about 100 feet of outdoor speaker wire. :)

Yep. I'll need to come over and scope it out.
