JBL Professional Control 88M Wired, Two-Way Coaxial, Mushroom Style Outdoor, Landscape, Architectural, Waterproof Speaker, 8-Inch, 360 Degree Sound. Sold Individually. Green

These are great speakers. They can be very loud and they have great sound distribution. I would say they are as good as my DT6500’s and those are great speakers. They have slightly less highs but more bass, especially outdoors. The only negative up to now is they are very power hungry. I have it connected to a 140W RMS per channel amplifier and it requires 70% of the volume to even start moving them. However by 85% they are almost unbearably loud. They are connected by 12 AWG cable on a 50 ft run which is likely contributing but even directly connected to the amplifier they required a lot of power. I don’t know how these would do on a 70v/100v system as I have not tried this. This will likely improve as they break in but it is something to consider. Especially if choosing between this and the 85m as the smaller cone should require less power. Overall I am very happy with these speakers and they are a great addition to my pool sound system.

I bought a pair of them to go with my other pair of outdoor speakers. I am running Marantz separates and in order to get a halfway decent sound sound you have to turn them up to 65 percent. The existing speakers only require 50 percent to get the same sound out of them. They are a nice looking speaker but not very efficient. I would not recommend for the price.

Used these to replace 4 Bose mushroom-type outdoor speakers for a miniature golf course renovation and, WOW!! what a difference! The fullness of sound was amazing! Way better bass, but in no way did the bass overpower the mids and highs as it was all really well balanced and very musical. Also what was much, much better was the distance that the speakers broadcast the music. It was clear all over the golf course with NO dead spots! That sure didn't happen with the Bose! We bolted these speakers to concrete blocks and buried them up to the sound-port - they're really solid in the ground. All in all, I'm very, very happy with these speakers!

Not sure what everyone else is talking about as far as sound quality.. sounded like the speaker at a gas pump. Had plenty of power to it and the distortion was horrendous. The bass was not as anyone else described. Returning.

Excellent Sound, Deep full range of harmonics
