Q: QuestionFrom Michigan, should I cover the speakers up in the winter? Remove them and bring inside? Or am I ok to leave outside uncovered? Can we use the speakers during winter months without fear of damaging them? What if temps reach below -13F with wind chill?

Asked 3 years ago by Speakerwire.

• A:Answer Hi, Thank you for your question. These speakers are designed to withstand temperatures from -13° to 149°F. You can cover them if you would like; however, it's unnecessary. You can use them during the winter months when the outside temperature is above freezing (40°F or higher.) Finally, I would recommend bringing the speakers inside before the temperature reaches or drops below -13°. If they do reach freezing temperatures, allow the speakers time to defrost thoroughly before using them. Damage can occur if the speaker is frozen and you attempt to play them.

Q: QuestionWhat AWG/gauge speaker wire is needed to run this system? I know it has to be outdoor rated. Does anyone have recommendation?

Asked 3 years ago by Speakerwire.

• A:Answer Hi, Thank you for your question. We recommend choosing wire size based on the distance between the amp to the furthest speaker. Here are our recommendations: 18 gauge - For distances up to 100 feet 16 gauge - For distances up to 150 feet 14 gauge - For distances up to 250 feet As a best practice, we recommend 14/4 direct-burial speaker wire be used. I have provided a link to MAG6.1 Instruction Manual. On page 4, where we provide information on wire types, system wiring, and installation. You can paste the link below in your browser to view the manual: https://files.bbystatic.com/7Z0t48zbf%2FnukowcARttqg%3D%3D/Owners%2BManual I hope you found this information helpful.

Q: QuestionAre these Sonos speakers... or are they speakers made by a different company that connect to a Sonos amp?

Asked 3 years ago by pattyb93.

• A:Answer Sonos outdoor speakers are made by this same company Sonance. Both the Sonos and Sonance speakers have the same casing and size profile. The main difference between the two is the audio ranges. Sonos has 55 Hz to 20 kHz. This speaker has 65 Hz to 30 kHz.

Asked 4 years ago by JD.

Q: QuestionCan the amp be used and stored outdoors in a cabinet away from direct rain or snow ?

Asked 2 years ago by sph454.

• A:Answer In theory yes, aslong as it would not get wet from anything, you would also need to make sure the power cord doesn't get wet either. I had mine installed in my basement and did a direct line to the internet. The Best buy crew installed and drilled a hole about a quarter inch, which the wires run through and then you need to caulk it. They ran everything under my deck and no wires show.

Q: QuestionThe "Features" section lists the following: 250W total power handling at 8 ohms Then below it says that "Peak power handling 80 watts" which is it? What can these speakers handle? I was told and was sold 2 bundles on the basis they handle 250W

Asked 3 years ago by DD.

• A:Answer The Sonos amp can power up to 250W, however the speakers have roughly 80W peak handling each which is roughly 160W when combined. The handling on the Sonos is much greater because it can handle 2 pairs of speakers according to the manufacturer.

Q: QuestionI have these speakers on the back porch and we use them to stream music with the sonos app. would like the games from the outdoor tv played through these speakers also via wifi. how would we need to configure sonos sound bar and pair all three together?

Asked 8 months ago by Gdawg.

• A:Answer Feed the audio from your TV into a Sonos Beam or Arc. You can then set up the group to include that sound bar and add the Amp (which feeds the 2 outdoor speakers via an 18/2 wire.). On your app, you can control the volume of the TV broadcast on both the sound bar (or turn that all the way down if you want) and the speakers (which will appear as Amp).

Yes, the Sonance MAGO6SYSV3 Outdoor Speaker System, powered by Sonos, can connect to your outdoor TV, as long as your TV has an HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) port. Just connect the TV to the Sonos Amp (which powers the system) using an HDMI cable. Once set up, your TV audio will play through the MAG O6 speakers, perfect for outdoor movie nights!
