Polk outdoor speakers indoors?

Due to space and ceiling limitation, I want to install 4 speakers and a subwoofer in a 24 by 15 party room just for music/dancing. I will drive these speakers with a 4 channel amp and compliment with a powerful sub. The ceiling is 7 ft high. No surround or movies setup is needed.

Anyone has experience installing Polk outdoor speakers indoors? I love the flexibility of installing the outdoor speakers on the wall (and their unimposing shape), but concerned if they can work for loud dance music or if they work decently at all indoors.

Thank you in advance for any advice.

    Thanks Disneyjoe7! Have not decided yet and looking for a recommendation on a 4 channel amp as well. this is a completely new setup and will be starting from scratch. I do have a 7.1 system in the main room, but would like to keep the two separate.
    Thanks again!

    I think the Atrium series would work fine for this, and they'll hold up well when your New Years party gets wild and your guests start spraying champagne all over the place.
