Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Niles RS6 Pro by Marshall Chase Outdoor speakers let you move the party outside Outdoor speakers are built tough -- they laugh at wind, rain and weather. Tuck a pair under your eaves and they'll pump out the tunes to keep everybody smiling and swaying at your next cookout or pool party. We also have some "rock" speakers that blend seamlessly into your landscaped lawn or garden. This speaker rocks, but it won't roll The Niles RS6 Pro speaker delivers spacious sound while disappearing into the surrounding landscape. You'll enjoy exceptional outdoor music thanks to Niles' careful design and attention to detail. And their integrated security mount helps ensure that your speaker stays put. Thoughtfully designed for clear sound The RS6 Pro features a 1" Teteron® dome tweeter for crisp highs and a 6-1/2" TCC (talc, carbon and ceramic) injected polypropylene woofer for rich midrange and bass. Niles mounts the drivers closer behind the grille than most rock speaker manufacturers for more accurate sound with better imaging. And the tweeter is angled upwards 20º, so the high frequencies are aimed at the listener and not the ground. Stands up to the elements like a lighthouse The RS6 Pro is completely weatherproof — you can leave it outside fully exposed to whatever nature brings, worry-free. It has passed some of the most stringent environmental tests ever devised for outdoor speakers, including extensive Salt Fog and UV Exposure testing. Plus, it can handle extreme temperatures, from -50º to 185º Fahrenheit. You'll enjoy "rock"-solid sound for years to come. Got wire? Most speakers don't include any.

Features GeoRealistic Styling: The RS6 Pro's enclosure has unique textures and colors to make it look like a natural rock. The speaker grilles are designed so they blend into the cabinet. It is supplied with a security bracket/stake and cable to insure it stays where you put it. The speaker is designed and built to withstand the environmental stresses placed on an outdoor loudspeaker. Weatherproof: The cabinet is made from fiberglass; it utilizes double seals on the tweeter, woofer and enclosure cover. The drivers are designed to drain water away from them and are made from weather resistant material. The grilles are painted aluminum to stand up to the harsh outdoor environment. The speaker has passed test requirements for salt fog, operating temperature, storage temperature, UV exposure and humidity per military standard 883. ConeForward Design: This design mounts the woofer and tweeter as close to the grille as possible giving you excellent imaging from an outdoor loudspeaker. The tweeter is angled 20° up from the woofer so it is aimed at the listener and not at the ground. This improves the high frequency coverage of the loudspeaker and ensures that all the benefits of the tweeter are heard and not lost in the surroundings. 1" Tweeter: The RS6 Pro uses a 1" Teteron tweeter that utilizes a tri-laminate design consisting of an inner textile layer which forms the dome, a high damping layer to kill unwanted resonances and an outside layer of urethane to add stiffness and prevent breakup modes. The result is a transparent clear, natural sounding tweeter which still maintains its extended frequency response and is completely weatherproof. 6.5" Woofer: The RS6 Pro uses a 6.5" TCC (talc, carbon, ceramic) filled polypropylene woofer. The unusually stiff cone, the butyl rubber surround and substantial magnet and motor structure are optimized for large excursions of the woofer. The 6.5" woofer is designed to provide rich deep bass and outstanding weather resistance capabilities. Precision Crossover: A customized electronic dividing network inside the cabinet precisely distributes the music to the woofer and the tweeter. The three-pole, two-way design of the RS6 Pro crossover provides excellent stereo imaging, low distortion and superior sonic performance. Rigid Acoustically Inert Cabinet Construction: Niles utilizes a unique 4-layer cabinet construction to achieve superior non-resonance of the speaker cabinet. This insures that all your hear is the music and not cabinet noise. Grille: The aluminum Microperf grille on the RS6 Pro has hundreds of precisely sized perforations, creating an acoustically transparent grille. The aluminum construction resist oxidation enabling years of trouble-free operation in the harshest of conditions. Niles paints both sides of the grille for added protection. Speaker Cable Connection: To make sure the speaker connection is trouble-free, the RS6 Pro features a 2' connection cable rated for burial underground and specialized waterproof wire nuts. The wire nuts are filled with a waterproof sealant. Wiring Requirements: 2-conductor direct burial cable is recommended at the following sizes depending on the longest length of cable required: 16 gauge: maximum distance of 60' 14 gauge: maximum distance of 100' 12 gauge: maximum distance of 160' Power Rating: An amplifier rated at 10 to 150 watts is recommended to power the RS6 Pro.

Excellent sound, simple install Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Niles RS6 Pro Written By Kevin1031, West Monroe, LA on Monday, August 25, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The speakers sound great. They look exactly like rocks and the sound is amazing for an outdoor speaker. I haven't had them very long so Im not sure how the heat and humidity in Louisiana will affect them. So far they are a very nice addition to my backyard pool area Pros: sound great and look great Cons: I wish that they weren't exact mirror images on each other...meaning it would be nice if they looked different from each other. no two outdoor rocks are exactly the same. But overall Im very pleased Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Deserves a 6th star Written By Deg, New Hampshire on Thursday, August 21, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Looks very good (for a fake) and sounds even better!!!! Pros: Sound, Looks, and size Cons: Could look a bit more realistic...but still looks very good Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Nice full sound Written By UT Mike, Austin, Texas on Thursday, July 17, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have owned several of these speakers over the years. Currently using three to cover a large outdoor entertaining area and around the pool & palapas. Plenty of sound and coverage. Clear even at low levels. Bass is a little light but to be expected with these speakers. They are connected to a dedicated Élan amp at 75 watts per channel via Niles volume controls. Have had two over seven years go out, but warranty and replacement has been very responsive. Significant plus for this equipment. Pros: Great looks, excellent sound that can fill a large outdoor space. Excellent warranty support. Cons: Could use more bass output. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great so far Written By Peter, Pound Ridge, NY on Monday, June 30, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Just installed last week. Easy set up, look great hidden in my landscaping and really deliver a loud, crisp and clear sound. Was this review helpful?

Speakers sound really good ,bass is good ,I don't even have my good receiver connected yet and I'm happy with the sound ,it fills my yard ,I place speakers at the ends of my pool couldn't be happier ,oh I am very picky when it come to my sound systems , Pros: Looks great outdoors sound good and speakers are not even broken in yet Cons: None yet Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Look good sound good too Written By JohnnyT, Gaffney, SC on Tuesday, June 17, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Only had these for a week now but they have lived through 3 very heavy rains and still work well. I have two at the end of our pool area (apx. 100x60) fills the space very well at moderate volume and will overwhelm the space if you crank it up.I power it with a Yamaha 1200 watt A/V amp. Carries base very well for a 6" speaker with clean mids and highs. Over all well worth it if they hold up over the years. Pros: Look good, sound very good Handle weather and my misting system Cons: None yet Was this review helpful?

Carries pretty far. Great as a set for a spatial stereo field. Durable and heavy duty. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Quality outdoor sound Written By will i am, San Diego, CA on Monday, November 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought two Niles RS6 Pro to replace some outdoor speakers that were just not getting the job done. Powered by a Pioneer SC55, with 5.1 inside, using the surround rear to power outdoor speakers on zone 2. The Niles provide a full sound, plenty of bass (removed a passive base that I was unimpressed with in the former configuration). These speakers deliver incredible sound to a large area (40 foot patio, 25 feet from house). Highly recommended. Pros: Excellent sound with sufficient lows. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Pool use with Sonos - GREAT!!!

A Dinner That Walked Off. Bt ODIVE THORNE. The way it begun, Iiaunah wns cross that day. Por one thing, slio had a big Thanks/h iug baking to do in au old- ftuhioned house, where pies and cakes wero made Iiy tho qnantity. Thai, while sho wos out of the kitchen a moment, Margery, in n frolic with puss, hail upset the chum with its loittl of cream nil over the snow-white floor. Thftt made plenty of extra work; but the crowning disaster wns to find, when she went to the pautry for th* beans she intended to bake, that it boltleof brandy that she had kept last, summer to bathe her ankle, whieh she had sprained iu falling down the cellar-stairs, had been upset. Jt stood far out of the way on the top shelf, but, unfortunately, the dish of beans was directly under it, and the brandy had dripped over them, soaking them so thoroughly that it was not possible to use them. But the worst was yet to come. On finding tho beans ruined, sho simptv emptied them into the pail which stoo'd at tim kitchen door, and, washing her hands, set to work to knead her big pan of pufFv bread-dough. Now the kitchen-door opened into a woodshed, and tbe ash-pail, with the beans on top, was supposed to be safe enough; but, unfortunately, on this special afternoon, the outside doiir was ajar. The beans had not been there long before tho turkeys came around to be fed, ns usual; and one of them, of a prving —"*""* S£*»t«*d Jfce open-door, Jin<j, ^ wapmtectfcg ;$&»"/ (gioAjthhigs tfet casa© out* of tha door, lqniouy hopped ©a tho Stop and walked in. Nothing io toe seen but piles ot wood for the season, now getting severe, and —ye-*--« p.til with something in it. "Ah! that looks good; 1*11 try it," thought, the curious turkey (uo doubt). She did try it, and, not being sensitive in either taste or sinei 1, she never stopped trying it until she had swallowed all the top ones, soaked in brandy, and then turned to go, The elfi-rt was sad. Her head whirled around, it is supposed ; at any rate, her legs refused to liold her up, and she fell to the ground insensible. Half an hour later, Hannah went out for more wood to rcpleiu.-h her flre, and in the gathering darkness stumbled over the turkey still lying there. A glance ut the fowl, to sec that she was not outwardly hurt, and another at the pail, told the shameful story. " Ht>re's a line bit o' work !" exclaimed Hannah, turning the Iiuip turkey over. "The idiot has gone and killed'herself entirely with those beans! I'd like to know who left open that door! Well, wt 11, I want a turkey for Thanksgiving, and this one died by accident, nnd its meat will be as good as though I'd wrung her neck." So muttering and grumbling to herself, after fixing her tire, she atta -ked the turkey, for, though she was sometimes cross, she was always economical, and sho knew no questions would bo asked as to how it came to its end, provided it was fat, aud was roasted well. In a few minutes, she had the feathers off, except those on the wings and tail, aud she laid the picked turkey on a bench to cool, shutting the door "to keep out the cat while she finished some other work. Meantime, tea-time arrived; the family eame home, and were all at the table, when the door burst open and Hannah rushed in, evidently frightened out of her wits. " O, Mr. Winslow,"sbe cried, " there's something in the woodshed 1—all in white, and it ran after me when I went for some wood, and I daren't go out there, if you plnzo 1" Hr, Wiusiow, fcupposing noma animal had got in, left the table, and, arming liimself with the poker as he passed through the kitchen, throw open the door. Silence antl darkness only. Yet in a moment came an andible rustling on the woodpile, and an indistinct glimpse of something white. " Bring the light, Hannah I" called Mr. Winslow; and, taking a candle from her trembling hand, he led tho way to the strange object. "It's a white—why, no, it isn't 1" he interrupted himself, as he drew nearer to the ilnttering, frightened thing. "It's —1 decline, it's a picked turkey 1 W"here on earth—" "A picked turkey!' screamed Hannah. " Sure, and can it bo the one I picked myself tliis evening has come to life?" " How did you kill it?" asked Mr. Winslow. "I didn't kill it at all. The botherin* crater killed itself ating beans that got st ttked iu my brandy, and I had to stop my work and dress it before it cooled." "Well, it evidently was not dead," said Mr, Winslow; "bnt, now it's dr.-ssed, you better cut off its head." " Oh no, papal" cried Margei-y, who stood on the steps. "Don't kill tho pi i'ir tldng! I'll take care of it somehow." "But it'll freaze, dear," said papa, goiug back into the kitchen. " No, I'll fix it up; I'll make it something to wear. Please let me I" pleaded 31 ivgery, earnestly. " Well, I don't caro, child," said her fniher, laughing, "Do as you like, ami dress it up, I want a fat gobbler, ivi'l not a flvts-pmuut hen'tmkef, tat fbmilseglntig," vithKris.

She must have found the door ajar, aud managed to pry off the cover, whieh lay on one side, a..d here shehadh.ddeu all theso weeks. The room w.is put in order and the door closed, and Kristine was prodded with a place in tlio yard. Every day sho wandered off with her babies, but she never started until she had vinited the breakfast-table with her whole brood to get her regular morning meal. At first it was funny to see them run around and pick up crumbs, but as they grow it began to bo troublesome to have a flock of turkeys so much at home iu the house. So maninia made a i.ew law, that Kristine* and her family must be led ftt the door. After that, her Hfe was like that of the other turkeys, only sho knew her name and would come when called, and never failed to run np to Margery whenever She saw her.

Hannah grumbled n little, but, after all, she couldn't say much, for it 'was by her own fault that the poor thing lost its own winter coat. Before long the fami- j ly grew quite attached to Margery's pet, whose name they shortened to Kris. On her part, Kris was a very bright bird. She. would come when called by name, aud she never failed to be oil hand at meal-times, when she would walk around the table and receive delicate bits from every one. While her little mistress wassludying or sewing, Kris woidd stand and look at her, turning her knowing head first one sidi> nnd then the other, and sometimes saying, in a reflective way : "Quitl" As soon as books and work were put away she was ready for play. In fact, she enjoyed her strange life very much, and grew fat under it, so that pretty soon the boys began to tease Margery by suggesting that her pet was ready to take her place on the table." Tho only time she seemed to be uncomfortable was wheu the ' cheerful ktehen was scrubbed. Ko sooner did Hiimah appear on the scene with scrubbing-brush, and go down on her knees to polish the floor, than Kris would hop, by a sort of ladder wliich one of tho boys had made for her, up to a corner of tlio high mantel over the fireplace, and there she would sit, all humped up and miserable, till fho Work waa done, or until her little mistross came and took her into tlie sitting- room.

There arc some things nbout winds that would seem very strange to the average person," continued Sergeant Line, "and they are the subject of constant study and experiment. Now there is no instance on record of n hurricane having crossed the equator, nor of having been encountered on the equator. A cyclone, or hurricane, has not only a general forward movement—averiu'g from ten to forty miles per hour—but nlso has a gyratory motion about the storm center that will givo a velocity to the wind of a hundred or more miles per hour.

Many persons spent their whole lives in this toilsome work. As the copying of the sacred writings icquired great care, in order to avoid eiror-i and to make thc books readable, persons had to be trained to the task. Indeed the copying o* tho scriptures came to be a second art. In this way arose the profession, and, as may be said, the learned caste ot tho ' scribes. As they had tho care of the rolls of volumes of the law, they were sometimes called lawyers. Not only did they make copies of the sacred text, but thoy claimed to explain it, and thus acquired great influence with the people.

I completely missed the official peak of apple season. But, living in the lovely Pacific Northwest means local apples are plentiful even into December. There are a million varieties and it's hard to keep up with them!!
Rain and cold temperatures meant an opportunity to cook up a big batch of Vanilla-Spiked Apple Butter. Most of the jars will disappear into the hands of others as gifts, but a few will make residence in my pantry. If you are looking for a lightly sweetened, spiced, and vanilla-spiked apple butter, you are in luck! This recipe calls for a water-bath canner, but you can always refrigerate/freeze your jars if you don't have a canner. Be prepared to spend some time with this recipe, but know that your commitment is worth every second. Promise.
Vanilla-Spiked Apple Butter
Makes about 9 half-pint jars
12 -14 apples (I used a combination of Granny Smith and Fuji apples, use your favorites)
2 cups apple cider or apple juice
Juice from 1 lemon
1 1/2 – 2 cups dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1. Start by putting a large pot on your stovetop. You will be filling it with apples shortly. If you are using a water-bath canner, wash your jars in hot soapy water and rinse well. Put the jars on a baking sheet and place it in your oven at 150 degrees F (this keeps them warm and sterilized). Wash jar lids and bands as well. Place them in a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring the water just to a simmer then turn off the heat, cover, and set aside until ready to use.
2. Next, wash all of your apples very well. You can peel them if you want to (I peeled half of mine). Core the apples and slice them into wedges. Transfer all of the apples to your big pot.
3. Add the apple cider and lemon juice to the pot. Cover the pot. Turn the heat on medium-high and bring the liquid to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat slightly, keep covered, and stir every so often until apples are soft.
4. Transfer the contents of the pot (liquid included) to a blender. You will need to do this in batches. BE CAREFUL – THE MIXTURE WILL BE HOT!! Puree until very, very smooth. A high speed blender works best, but if you have a regular blender, just be patient. Transfer the pureed mixture back to the pot and add all remaining ingredients, except the vanilla extract. Stir to distribute. When adding the sugar, start with at least 1 1/2 cups, and then taste to see if you want the apple butter to be sweeter.
5. Bring the mixture to a low boil and cook, uncovered, for about 45 minutes. The mixture will thicken and darken. Make sure to stir frequently and lower the heat if it splatters too much.
6. While the apple mixture is cooking, get your water-bath canner ready. Fill it with water and set it to a boil. This can take a long time if you have a crappy electric stove like me. Try to time this so the water will be boiling when your apple mixture has finished cooking. Once the apple mixture has finished cooking, stir in the vanilla.
7. Prepare your workspace. You will need: a magnetic wand for the jar bands and lids, jar tongs, a jar funnel, a ladle, a few potholders, a clean towel, and a cooling rack. You can actually purchase nifty little canning sets like this one, so you have everything you need (aside from the canner itself)!
8. Now it's time to fill your jars!!! Remove your jars from the oven and place the baking sheet on a thick towel. Place the pot with the apple butter on a potholder next to where you will fill the jars. Now, put the jar funnel over a jar and ladle in some apple butter! Leave a 1/2″ headspace in the jar. Wipe the rim with a clean, damp dishtowel to remove any apple butter residue. Using your snazzy magnetic wand, put a lid and a band on each jar after you fill it. Screw until snug, but not too tight! Repeat with remaining jars and apple butter.
9. Once you have filled all of your jars, place them on the rack inside your canner using the jar tongs (please take care when doing this step!). This might require two batches. My canner holds seven jars at a time. Put the lid on your canner and bring the water back to a boil. Once at a rapid boil, set your timer for 10 minutes. When 10 minutes have passed, use your jar tongs to remove the jars from your canner. Set them on a cooling rack and repeat with any remaining unprocessed jars.
10. Now… you wait for the PING! The ping is the sound that occurs when the vacuum seal on the jar seals. It is the best sound in the world to a canner!! Pop! When this happens, you know your jar sealed properly. It can take time, so be patient. Wait 24 hours and then tap the top of each jar lightly. You will know it sealed if the center doesn't bounce back. Put any unsealed jars in the fridge or freezer. Properly sealed jars will keep in your pantry for about a year. They might last longer, but my batches disappear too quickly!

***Please note that manufacturer instructions for different brands of jars, canners, and equipment can vary. Please read through all your own instructions to ensure proper canning. The method I use is pretty standard, but just to be sure! If you are new to water-bath canning, do some research first. This website is helpful.***
***Also, if you don't have a canner, you can cook the mixture and transfer it to jars as instructed. When you have filled all the jars, let them cool, and then store them in the fridge or freezer.***

In North Dakota, veterinarians, animal shelters and others who care for and about animals had found them-selves on opposing sides over Measure 5, which would not have applied to production agriculture or to lawful activities of hunters, trappers, licensed veterinarians or scientific researchers, or to people acting in defense of life or property.
North Dakota and South Dakota are the only states without a felony animal abuse penalty.
"We're pleased that the North Dakota voters took a closer look at this, and we want to continue now to further the work on animal protection and do it the right way," Jason Schmidt, a rancher in Kidder County and chairman of North Dakota Animal Stewards, which op-posed Measure 5, told Forum Communications.
Both sides spent heavily to sway voters on Measure 5, with campaign finance reports filed with the North Dakota secretary of state's office totaling well more than $1 million by last week.
Much of the funding for the measure came from the Humane Society of the United States, which opponents sought to discredit as a radical organization.

Three riders from the BMC Racing Team – Marco Pinotti, Amaël Moinard and Ivan Santaromita – finished within a minute of the leaders Wednesday on the "queen stage" of Pais Vasco.
Another Tough Day Ahead
On the last of seven climbs in the 164-kilometer race, the trio were in the leading group when 2010 race winner Chris Horner (RadioShack-Nissan) attacked. Only two riders – eventual stage winner Samuel Sanchez (Euskatel-Euskadi) and runner-up Joaquin Rodriguez (Katusha) – could stay with him. Pinotti (22nd) crossed the line 50 seconds after new race leader Sanchez and is best-placed on the BMC Racing Team in 23rd overall. "Two years ago on this climb, I was 48 seconds behind Sanchez and 11th on the stage," Pinotti said. "The level here now is maybe higher, so I'm satisfied." Moinard (32nd) and Santaromita (34th) are both 59 seconds off the lead with another hard day ahead. Parts of the finishing climb for Thursday's 151 km stage are as steep as 18 percent. "The pattern has been a breakaway and then pull it back, then attacks at the end," BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Max Sciandri said. "That could change if it rains and there's a 60 percent chance of it tomorrow."
