Mistake #1: Overlooking Weather Resistance and Durability
The allure of crisp, clear sound sometimes overshadows the practical considerations necessary for Boise's varied climate. But it's important not to put your primary focus on finding the best high-end speakers on the market. Choosing speakers without comprehensive weather resistance is a mistake that can lead to premature wear and system failure.
How to Avoid: Choose outdoor speakers that are not just weather-resistant but also built to withstand the specific conditions of your locale. Garrett Integrated Systems selects models known for their durability in all seasons. Plus, we work with industry-leading brands that offer outdoor models with the same performance expectations as their indoor ones.
Mistake #2: Underestimating the Importance of Professional Installation
Many believe installing outdoor speakers is a simple DIY project, especially if they're using Bluetooth speakers. However, improper installation can result in poor sound quality, bodily harm, and damage to your equipment.
How to Avoid: Opt for professional installation by experts who understand the needs of outdoor sound installations. Our team ensures optimal placement for sound dispersion, expertly lays wires underground, and chooses the best models for your space. Our hardwired solutions offer better sound quality than traditional wireless or Bluetooth speakers in DIY installations.
Mistake #3: Ignoring System Compatibility and Integration
Most DIY systems don’t integrate well with existing home automation or entertainment systems. This oversight can limit your enjoyment as connecting with outdoor TVs or make pulling up the music you want to listen to difficult.
How to Avoid: Seek systems with smart technology compatibility and easy control. Garrett Integrated Systems specializes in integrating outdoor speakers with your broader home automation system, ensuring effortless control of your outdoor entertainment experience from any device. Pull up music from any indoor source using weatherproof remotes, an app, or even a touchpad.
Choosing the right outdoor speaker system doesn't have to be complicated. By avoiding these common mistakes and partnering with Garrett Integrated Systems, you can ensure your outdoor audio enhances your lifestyle without compromise.
