Why not just use an Amp and a pair of outdoor speakers up high under the eave? How are you going to make a moisture-tight enclosure for an Arc that doesn’t make it sound terrible?
^^^This is a good idea. I had posted earlier about possibly using an ARC or BEAM BUT if there is any form of sunlight on it, it will fade over time and it will definitely have a shortened lifespan. I had mentioned those as an option earlier if the outdoor area was completely covered from the elements and sun (we've done a few outdoor areas where the A/V gear is completely covered by structure...it's basically a house with no doors).
We did one Playbar in an area that we thought was covered enough (but not as well as I detailed above) and it was a bad choice. Faded front and weathered connections after 1.5 years.
You could use either outdoor speakers or some form of weatherproof LCR with the AMP (Sunbrite makes a few and there are other companies as well).
