Looking to start doing some research on outdoor speakers that are waterproof, maybe, depending on where I install them … I have 2 power outlets on the front left and back left side …

I don’t need theater style speakers since it outdoors and don’t need to piss off the neighbors … thinking of just needing 2 speakers which should be fine so we can hear the TV.
If I install on the left I need waterproof speakers cause rain blows in from there. If I install on the right upper ceiling I probably won’t need them, but will need to extend the power cords to reach the outlets...

what would be something to start looking at?

Well only reason I was thinking wireless would be the cleaner look without wires .. can’t access anything through the ceiling to run them there and hide them.

Maybe you can find some wire close to the same color of the cement between the bricks.

its centered ... just not at the moment. It has a big swing radius and right now its tucked on the far right from dinner last night we had it pull out facing the dinner table and I just pushed it back flat. Otherwise the installers would be redoing it lol

Put just any cheap soundbar under the TV, feed it from there and call it a day. I does not need to be waterproof as you TV ain't also. Don't buy anything expensive, even IKEA ones will do. At least if it will be hit with a ball from your kids playing, there will be no remorse. Modern speakers are loud enough.

Anything larger WILL piss your neighbors for sure. You'll have to plant some green bush across the fence otherwise.
