For the outdoor speakers, I am torn between on wall speaker facing the outside or the house. Would appreciate your feedback. Thanks in advance!
Exterior (option 1, blue): on wall speaker TBD (maybe DEFINITIVE TECHNOLOGY AW6500)
Exterior (option 2, red): in ceiling speaker TBD // least likely option since in ceiling speakers are lacking in bass response.
Exterior (option 3, green): on wall speaker facing towards the house // more evenly distributed speakers
Depending on how close you are to the neighbors I would face them toward the house to try and contain the sound a bit. I’d run them in mono too.
