re: Simplest way to play music through outdoor speakers

Thanks for all of the suggestion. The WiiM seems like a great solution for my scenario. I am currently doing the echo dot and it’s just not quite cutting it.

Now I need to test these preinstalled speakers before I start purchasing equipment to power it.

Simplest way to play music through outdoor speakers

Posted by absolute692 on 5/18/25 at 3:28 pm

My house has 2 speakers installed on the patio and pre wired to the laundry room. I just want to be able to play music through these speakers versus an Amazon echo. I know I need to install a receiver in my laundry room where the wires terminate but I’m trying to understand the simplest solution.

Added bonus would be to also play TV sound through outdoor speakers (obviously not at the same time). I’m afraid this means running an hdmi from my tv to the receiver but I’m seeing these wireless hdmi receivers and transmitters. I don’t know anything about them so not sure if they are any good.

Any simple solutions are welcomed. Bonus points to not have to spend time in the attic to get it installed.

The tour has an event there so I assume it’s pretty good. Never played it but have also looked at staying at the grand Hyatt there and playing it.

Played TPC Dorado Beach a few years ago when I went down for a wedding. Beautiful track but very windy. Birdied the first hole thinking I’m about take the entire groups wallets and it went all downhill from there.

The gnomes hit eBay before the first golfers tee off. There are people who only go to spend tens of thousands in the pro shop just to sell it all online.

You can always go to the women’s amateur championship on the Sunday before the masters. Get the see the entire course and same concessions and gift shop. Tickets are much cheaper as well.

I’ve got nothing against cops, even willing to buy their meals when I see them, but I don’t believe any one in the US works that much.

I was pretty set on getting the 2025 Yukon but all these issues has me back to looking at a used Land Cruiser. I just want something dependable that I can load up a family of 5 and take a vacation. Land Cruiser is about the only vehicle I’d be confident could be handed down to my son in 13 years.

Sad when you can’t just go get a suburban anymore and drive it for 300k miles with regular maintenance.

Elijah Haven will be a Tiger unless we are given an SMU death sentence. Fortunately for us what cost SMU can’t happen anymore.

Elijah will be wearing P&G in 3 years.

We have not had rain in what seems like a month. The grass is bone dry and has already turned to the dormant color. Or the dead color from no water.

A friend of mine explained it to me, but usually when there is a big flame it means they don't have as many people working that day than usual. When that happens they do something to make sure shite don't blow up, hence the reason its always really big around the holidays.

Your friend is mistaken. These billion dollar business aren’t slowing down production so someone can go to a Christmas party or football game. The intent is to run at full rates 24/7/365 unless a shutdown/upset prevents that from happening.

The reason the flares get large is because of shutdown/startup and upsets.

Superflex keeper help

I can keep Keenan Allen for $18 or Jakobi Meyers for $2. Don’t love either option but considering Jakobi because I would think I can get Keenan for less than $18. Jakobi isn’t startable week 1 so also seems silly to pay more than $1 for a non-starter.

Can also just not keep either.

Already keeping Kincaid for $2 and Khalil Herbert for $3. Might not keep Herbert if the trade rumors don’t pan out. Could consider Bijan for $66 but feel like I could draft him again for less based on last years performance.

He withdrew from the mid am since the US Am starts Monday. I’m sure the field is a little relieved.

Why not put the LED lights in the Box?

Posted by absolute692 on 7/15/24 at 7:34 am

I’m not sure if the LED light show trend has made it to college baseball yet but we all know that will eventually happen. I’m sure it would have been advantageous to do that upgrade when they did it at Tiger Stadium.

I know this is pretty low on the list of upgrades that the Box needs but it would be nice to be a leader as opposed to a follower as it relates to this trend coming to college baseball.

This. The comfort is second to none. Fair warning, they are pricey and once you wear them you won’t buy another shoe. They usually have a couple of deals each year to get them for much cheaper though.
