IP ratings explained, plus how to keep a veranda pair singing all year.
The short version
The second digit of an IP rating is about water. IP65 shrugs off jets of rain; IP67 survives a dunk. Mount speakers under an overhang where you can, angled slightly down so water runs off the grille.
Once a season, wipe the grille and check that brackets are still tight after the wind.
