We will be getting a 16x12 enclosed gazebo with an 8x8 Spa. I am looking to setup a decent sound system inside iof the gazebo. I have a wireless Squeezebox I want to hook up. I would like advice on a moderatly priced receiver ($200-$300) and a good pair of indoor/outdoor speakers for this purpose. I am leaning towards Polk for the speakers. My budget for speakers is about $200/pr.

I am not putting a sub in the gazebo, but I would like a nice crisp sound inside the gazebo and be able to hang a pair of speakers outside pointing towards the entertainment area. Do I need a sub?

I am slightly concerned about moisture as even though it is totally covered/enclosed, I do not know about water creeping in, making it too moist.

Thanks in advanced for your advice.
