AG Pool Audio System.

[CarlD]

For tunes outside on the patio and pool, I'm currently installing Zoneplayers by Sonos sonos.com. I should be finished by the end of the weekend.

Instead of dragging any stereo components outside, I just have to mount my outdoor speakers (two pair) and connect to a Zoneplayer inside the house.

A little spendy, but definitely convenient since one can access their whole music library via remote control from anywhere in (or outside) the house.

I saw them somewhere...rings a bell.

ALL my pool stereo electronics are inside. I ran a pass-through for the speaker connections through the wall and sealed it. There's a clean plate inside where the banana plugs go from the amp. Outside, you can see the plastic conduit I used for the wiring, and the weather boxes over each speaker. Theoretically, I can leave the speakers out all winter, but come the fall, it takes less than 5 minutes to remove both speakers, and no tools.

Sailork,
I played in a rush/journey tribute band a few years ago and we were running 4 EV's 15's and horns with a Peavey 1.2 K amp, pushing 1000 watts a side in a 20x30 practice room...I always wore earplugs...it was loud, I play drum workshop (dw) drums with the power tom configuration which are very loud unmiked and we had them suckers miked up...I'm surprised I'm not completely deaf!!

The link you have on your post beats all I ever seen!!! I could probably put swimming pool in my whole front yard for the price of that system!!!

drumr - Was the band called "Rushed Journey?" Or "Don't stop beleiving in Tom Sawyer?"

Whatever it was I'm sure it would have sounded great on a pair of 9.5 meter long horns.

Sailork...
LOL!!! Those are great names!! I wished we would've thought of that when the band was together. We had a terrible time coming up with a name. We were actually called "Freewill", but I love "Rushed Journey" that fit us perfectly!!!

Do you all remember a series of E/V speakers called VOTs for Voice Of The Theater? I never heard anything like them for years and years.

The VOT's (yes, Voice of Theater) were the Altec speaker systems. Nice drivers

EV had the Patrician and such.

My current bass player has a pair of the Voices of Theater speakers. I think the drivers are all bad but those cabinets are HUGE. I have never heard them before, but they look like they would sound nice.

There used to be a musician saying...If it ain't heavy...Don't buy it!!!
