TIC GS3-8" Outdoor Weather-Resistant Omnidirectional In-Ground Speaker

I’m using with 4 outdoor 200 watt speakers I have it placed under the deck with its own dedicated amp. Adds just the right thump for outdoor listening

Very nice item sounds terrific. Buy with confidence a little slow shipping but well worth it.

If you are considering adding outdoor speakers, look no further! These speakers sound great! I have had several people ask me if they are the LUXURY brand speakers that you pay too much for and obviously my answer is no! I like a value, and these give you great value for the money. Nice full range sound at a fraction of the price of competitors. I will be purchasing more in the future!After reading some of the reviews I was concerned about connection, but there is not issue with connections or breakdown of the product. Connecting the positive and negative were seamless and they have held up with no issue in the Florida sun and the little Florida winter of North Florida!

I researched and read reviews for about a week before I decided on these speakers. It was between these and the yamaha NS-AW350's. In my opinion, it seemed these would hold up better to outdoor weather than the wall-mount yamahas. Our backyard is relatively small so I opted for this set rather than the larger GS3's. I really am impressed with the sound quality. I can imagine it's bigger brother GS3's must sound amazing. I tested different locations before I buried them in the ground and was surprised by how much better they sounded in-ground as opposed to above ground. Good bass and the sound is great from anywhere in my backyard. The only reason I didn't rate them a 5 star is because I had to remove the top cover and shake out several pieces of plastic that were rattling around inside one of the speakers. I'm very pleased with the appearance of these two speakers in my backyard. It's worth mentioning that I'm driving these speakers with my old trusty yamaha surround-sound receiver, not sure what the wattage rating is but it's probably more than these speakers could handle at full volume. I'm also using direct burial speaker wire. Well worth the $100.

I purchased two GS-3 speakers for use in our backyard and have been very impressed. I was concerned that they wouldn't be loud nor sound "good enough" for my space (approximately 50'x 70' area), but I hooked them up 3 weeks ago and have been very happy with the purchase. I wouldn't consider myself an audiophile, mainly a guy who likes to listen to a lot of different types of music through a good set of speakers (and whose wife is constantly asking me to "turn it down"). I must say that this pair were better than I expected.For my setup, I purchased a small Pyle amplifier and ran some conduit with some 14g CL-2 wire. The wire runs are approximately 50 ft from the source. The GS-3's look to be well crafted, sealed, with a heavy protected speaker wire exiting from the base. Instructions are included giving a few different options for placing speakers (typically, the higher off the ground and the closer to a wall, the better the sound). I had hooked them up in my garage to see how they sounded initially and was a little worried that they wouldn't perform well. Once I got them situated in their final locations outside (knee height and around 1 foot away from a perimeter wall), the sound was amplified and clear. With the amplifier, I am able to change bass and treble settings and am very happy with the levels the speakers provide. The levels that I'm playing these at are for background music, but can be pushed much higher, but I'm not looking to disturb the rest of the neighborhood.Note: I will follow up on "construction quality" in a few months, but for now I'm giving them 5 stars. For Customer Service, I've given 4 stars, but I haven't dealt with the manufacturer as of yet.I was looking at other outdoor speakers, but I read the positive feedback on these speakers and decided to jump (which is why I'm writing this - I like to read what others have to say about what I'm looking into purchasing). I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these speakers for anyone who wants some great sounding outdoor speakers - although I'm not sure they would fit the bill for those that need the booming bass or tons of power. They fit my needs perfectly, which is to provide some great sounding background music when I'm outside.3/2013 Update: I've had these for approximately 1.5 years and they are holding up very well. I keep them outside in the full NM sun from approximately May - October and they haven't broken down or gotten brittle (I disconnect and put them in the garage during the winter). I do utilize the weatherproof speaker wire connectors when I hook them up at the beginning of the season, but otherwise they sit out and sound wonderful. Weather-wise, they've held up against high UV sun, high wind, rain and snow and they've had no issues. I've thought about purchasing the bass unit (TIC-GS 50), but I really have all the sound that I need with these two speakers. I'm still really impressed with the sound from these units for the price. I'd highly recommend and wouldn't hesitate to purchase these again.

These didn't last 2 years outside. They sounded decent when I first bought them. Not great but ok. They were buried in the ground on top of six inches of gravel for drainage. And back filled with gravel. I tested everything from wires to speakers. Speaker died. They worked for one full season. That’s it

Just installed. Super easy to install and 4 speakers on a BT 300 watt receiver sound great.
