Bought a pair of these for a small, vintage rig for the bedroom. I wasn't expecting much, considering I had only paid 32.00 and change for them, on sale. I have them hooked up to a 1974 Pioneer SX-300 7WPC receiver. Sources are a vintage Akai GX F35 cassette, circa 1981 and a Yamaha DV C6761 Universal Disc Changer. I'm using 12AWG Belden speaker cable and Belden interconnects throughout on the source components.

Gotta say these little speakers pack some punch for their size. They're rather lightweight in construction, but they are constructed well. For such a small enclosure I was immediately impressed with how much bass they produce. These are a ported, 3 way design. I was also pleased to see they used 5 way binding posts and not the cheap spring clips which is what I had expected. My only complaint, and I'm reaching here is that they are not mirrored in design. Both speakers are identical. They still image really well though and for 32.00 bucks and change I really can't complain. Great little speakers at this price point that I can highly recommend for applications such as this.

As far as an outdoor patio speaker, I'm sure these would work just fine under an awning outside. The front grill is powder coated which should resist corrosion and the drivers look to be well sealed. They'd probably hold up fairly well to the elements, but obviously better to keep them protected as much as possible for use outdoors. In my opinion, these little TICs are a winner.
