Our Product Research Team

At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box, verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

Features

Design: The Russound Acclaim 5 Series OutBack outdoor speakers are designed and built to withstand the rigors of outdoor environment. They can be used in a wide range of temperatures, and are unaffected by extremes in humidity. This 5B45 package includes 2 outdoor speakers (with integrated brackets), 2 grilles, 2 pairs of end caps, and 2 bookshelf feet.

Woofer: The 5B45 speakers feature 4" injection-molded polypropylene woofers with rubber surrounds.

Tweeter: The 5B45s have 1" Teteron dome tweeters.

Terminals: The speakers have a single pair of spring post terminals that can accept up to 12 gauge speaker wire. It is recommended that you use 16 gauge speaker wire for runs up to 100 feet, 14 gauge for 50 to 150 feet, and 12 gauge for 100 to 200 feet.

Grilles: White painted aluminum grilles are included for each speaker. The grilles are corrosion-resistant to give you years of service in any kind of weather.

Painting: The speaker mounting bracket, enclosure, end caps, and grille can be painted to match your home's exterior if you desire. Care should be given to prevent getting paint on the terminals or drivers.

The speaker rotates on the bracket up to 45° left or right with 13 stop positions. The bracket has provisions for corner mounting or pole mounting (using U-bolts), as well. Each speaker comes with a bookshelf foot that attaches to one end of the speaker for installing the speaker vertically on a bookshelf.
