I picked up a set of os70 for the back porch and a pair of the 90rt for the front porch, can't wait to have it all set up 😜

    Love my outdoor system. I have a portion that is rain protected and get to run a sub and big screen as well.

    Bought a cheap PA mixer for it. The microphones can be rather comical after a few chilies.

    I've had nothing but great Service from Polk Audio Products! Not to mention Polk Audio Speaker's are a good Value, Especially with Polk Audio has their 1/2 off sale. I have tried other Brand of manufactured speakers. I've run into QC issues, bad Customer service also not to mention poor sound quality. Black Shiny speaker's with Aluminum drivers won't always get you better sound, just a Different kind of clarity. But them again what good is 2k speaker's if poor customer service or return Policy isn't there for the end user.
    I have been a Polk Audio customer since the mid 80's I've Never had a issue with Sound Quality or Customer Service! Buy Polk Audio Speaker's and Rest assured that if the time comes and You do need Polk Audios customer service you'll be taking care of. Call in or email their customer service department. Ken and I have spoken many time's. Never once was I charged or had for pay for shipping. Buy Polk Audio Products with confidence!

    Remember when buying any speaker, from other speaker companies. With the internet you will be crossing state lines with a implied warranty. Those alone should throw up a red flag. The Department of e-commerce isn't Exactly user end friendly. Returning or trying to Resolve a issue with a speaker Company may it up a end user's Financial nightmare. Buy Polk Audio Products with confidence. Outstanding QC, Great Customer service before and after the sale. Even If your Polk Audio Product is out of warranty their CSD, will go out of their way in helping to Resolve any issues with any of their products. Buy with Confidence Any Polk Audio Product.

    Ah ha, could always mount them externally in the ceiling!

    The 90rt has a surprisingly complex crossover, I didn't take the time to study it but it alone would be 300 or more per speaker

    Have them hooked up, the in ceilings, very interesting bass response, zero bass away from the porch but great bass on the porch, most likely because of the bandpass design.

    Not bad at all, good stuff

    Mounted the os70 this morning before I started working outside, had the front and back porch playing a reasonable volume, was excellent, well worth the investment
