Outdoor speaker placements

Hi,

We are planning on having our patio done, and currently I own a Connect Amp that is not connected to anything. I wanted to place some speakers and wanted some suggestions on where and how I should place them. This is a 3d image of what we are getting, so whats everyone's thoughts? I was thinking about the GS3s, but have not purchased anything yet. Also, how many speakers will I need to get music in the patio/deck.

I don’t have a CONNECT:AMP, nor outdoor speakers, so it would be pure conjecture on my part. Aren’t many outdoor speakers ‘dual wired’ so you connect both left and right speaker wires to them?

Yes, I’d agree that there is no ‘mono’ mode on the CONNECT:AMP.

But my statement was more a generalization in response to the last image, rather than a specific recommendation.

Airgetlam - Unfortunately only a few of the outdoor speakers have both L+R.

I would go with the 2 mounted up high on the house then the two TIGs down in the garden at the bottom. One connect:Amp can run all 4 (assuming the other set on wall is also 8ohms.).

I currently run two TIGs outside. They are ok for background sound but if I have a lot of people that are going to be outside I take a few Play:1s or my Play:5 and plug in outside as well. So the 4 speakers are probably about right. And I have no problem with the left/right configuration.
