Need Recommendation for Good Outdoor Speakers


My uncle wants to install some exterior speakers, and I don't want to lead him astray (I'm stuck with the install). They have to withstand the elements, and preferably be able to be found for around 300 bucks. Any suggestions?

P.S. They need to be able to play fairly loudly, too.

i put a pair of Niles OS-20 in my yard.
i was pretty surprised with the caliber of bass provided.
Klipsch makes an outdoor speaker which features horn loading, and thus is quite efficient. The housing is made of ABS plastic, so it will withstand outdoor weather pretty well. I have not heard this speaker, but since Klipsch is now distributed fairly widely you should be able to find a dealer.
B&W Leisure Monitors are weatherproof. I have used Rock Solid monitors (their predessor) for about 4 yrs. They have been outside the entire time and still sound great.
I really like my B&W WP-1's. They are the best outdoor speaker I have ever owned and I have owned three different pairs. You can't go wrong with these.
