Source for Outdoor Speakers - Ideas Needed
I have 4 outdoor speakers on the back porch of my house. Currently, they are wired into a volume control box mounted on the wall - 4 speaker wires go in, and 2 come out ending in some kind of connector on each one. Looks like the previous owner had a device to plug these into and could control the volume at the box. I haven't looked inside the box yet, but I used a 9 volt battery to test the speakers and heard sound coming from two speakers at once.
So I'd like to solicit ideas as to what to use to get some music from these speakers. It would have to be portable or weather proof if I were going to leave it outdoors. Would be nice to have Bluetooth so we could stream Pandora.
I searched Amazon for "outdoor receiver", but didn't see anything - with the exception of one with multiple reviews reporting that it catches on fire.
My indoor receiver has WiFi connectivity, so wondering it there is a receiver that can receive streamed music and output it to speakers.
My WiFi coverage is excellent due to using my old router as a repeater.
