Know before you buy
Yes, the RK83 is built with durable materials specifically for outdoor environments. While they are designed to withstand the elements, we recommend placing them in an area with decent drainage to ensure longevity.
Yes, these are passive speakers, meaning they require an external amplifier or receiver to function. You will need to run speaker wire from your amplifier to the location of the rocks.
For the best stereo imaging, place the speakers about 6 to 10 feet apart, angled slightly toward your primary listening area. Avoid burying them too deep in mulch or soil, as this can muffle the high frequencies from the tweeter.
The 8-inch woofer provides a robust sound that works well in medium-to-large outdoor spaces. Because they are sold as a pair, they are effective at creating a balanced stereo soundstage across a patio or garden area.
The speakers feature a weather-sealed connection point at the base. You will need to run direct-burial rated speaker wire from your amplifier through your landscaping to the connection point on the back of each rock.
