The NSAW350's two-way acoustic suspension design system incorporates a 6.5" woofer and 1" tweeter in a weather resistant enclosure. The 6.5" high compliance poly propilane mica filled woofer delivers solid reproduction of the lower and middle frequencies. The upper end of the frequency range is handled by Yamaha's 1" PEI dome tweeter. The NSAW350's sealed enclosure with aluminum grill protects the speakers from the elements.
Good value speakers,Pretty much what i expected for outdoor rates.However, as others have mentioned ,alot of distortion when pushed and inappreciable lows. I started with a pair then added another. These speakers increase in performance 5X with a quad set vs. a pair. Add a sub and now youve got an outdoor system worthy of acclaim. Realistically : good speakers for value with fair performance.
Strength
Obviosly price,Fair high end freq.Great mounts .So far have withstood the elements with no loses(cover when not in use) .
Weakness
Inadequate low freq.The addition of a sub is a MUST.

Summary
I mounted these, using the included brackets, on brick columns supporting my outside deck. I used a wood shim under each bracket to tilt them down a few degrees so rainwater runs off. The swivel brackets allow us to rotate the speakers toward the back yard for lawn parties or toward the house for listening on our deck.
Strength
I am very pleased with the sound, considering the small cabinet.
The woofer size in these speakers was a bit larger than others in the store that were more expensive. I also chose them because they were available in black, matching the railings around our deck.
Weakness
I'd like to hear a little more bass. I might add an outdoor subwoofer under the deck later.

Summary
I must admit I was a little skeptical of these after reading the reviews on line. The problem is there just ain''t a whole lotta choices for outdoor speakers period. So I reluctantly purchased these bad boys thinking I would be returning them when they sounded too tinny. I was actually quite impressed with their range and clarity. In the cluttered outdoor environment they sound excellent. Hiss is non-existant and the bass is projected well enough that my neighbors will be calling the police on me for years to come.
Strength
Good range; clear reproduction; strong bass response
Weakness
bass is lacking but still impressive
