Best Sound System For a Garage 

While all speakers appear the same, more or less, they all have a host of different capabilities and elements to consider before you buy. For instance, speakers that would be a good choice for your garage may not be the same make or model as the speakers that are the best option for your car or your living room. Below, we will go over some of the best sound systems for your garage space. 

Dual Electronics LU43PB 3-Way High Performance Speakers

The Dual Electronics LU43PB model is a great affordable option, showing that you don’t have to break the bank to find a quality sound system. This system was designed for both indoor and outdoor use, and it is waterproof as well. 

Rather than being constructed with aluminum, for instance, like some other competitors in the market, this model is constructed of ABS plastic– which accounts for part of the lower price point. It is also not a Bluetooth-compatible model, which is important to be aware of if you want a wireless connection to your phone when playing your music. Some of its key features are below:

  • Inexpensive
  • Mountable with swivel brackets
  • Compact dimensions
  • Not compatible with Bluetooth 

Polk Audio Atrium 5 Outdoor Speakers with Powerful Bass

This speaker option is one of the pricier options on this list, so if you are looking for a cheap speaker option to fit your budget, this may not be the best pick for you. However, if you are willing to shell out the extra cash, this can be a fantastic addition to your garage space. The system is made with brass, aluminum, and stainless steel, so it is resistant to rust and can last in your garage for a long time without deterioration. They have military-grade protection against the elements as well.

The speaker system is also perfect for mounting in your garage, due to its angled design. This angled shape also helps to project sound in large spaces, such as your garage or a basement. Some of its key features are as follows:

  • Expensive
  • Water resistant
  • Comes with brackets for mounting
  • Rich bass
  • Great for a Garage Gym TV

Boss Audio MR4.3W Enclosed System Speaker

Boss is a great speaker brand, especially if you are looking for a compact and portable option. This particular model is affordable, too. It is constructed of polyurethane and rubber that is weather-resistant, as well as being rust and flame resistant. 

In addition, the Boss Audio MR4.3W can deliver loud, clear volumes with or without an amplifier. It can be mounted on the wall in your garage and comes with swivel brackets so that you can turn the system and direct the music in multiple directions while you work! Some of its key features are below:

  • Compact and lightweight
  • Comes with swivel brackets
  • Not as durable as other options

Klipsch AW-650 Indoor/Outdoor Speaker

Like the Boss model that we discussed above, this speaker system is made of UV-resistant ABS plastic. It is not as durable as some other models, but this material is still very durable and can stand up to wear and tear, as well as the elements. Because of this, it is a great choice for both indoor and outdoor use. 

Unfortunately, the Klipsch AW-650 model is not Bluetooth compatible, which can be a deciding factor for many shoppers. Some of the system’s key features are as follows:

  • Suitable for indoors or outdoors
  • Clear sound without distortion
  • Rust resistant and weatherproof
  • Not Bluetooth compatible

Edifier R1280T Powered Bookshelf Speakers

The Edifier R1280T model is one of the more aesthetically pleasing options on the list. It has a retro design that is underscored by some lovely wood housing. It is actually constructed from vinyl that looks like wood, so it is more durable than actual wood would be in a garage.

SOund quality and variables such as bass, treble, and volume can be customized with dials on the side of the unit. It also comes with a remote control so that you can control the sound system while working in different areas of the garage, without having to stop what you’re doing! Some of its key features are as follows:

  • Great value for money
  • High volume levels for large spaces
  • High quality wood housing
  • Some reported issues with sound clarity
