Question:

Outdoor Speakers?

How can I hang outdoor speakers, I don't want to drill a hole in the side of my house for the wires. Is there anyway to avoid drilling a whole?

Answer:

No matter what objections you may have, the best thing to do is drill the necessary hole(s) and run the wires.
There are outdoor wireless speakers you can buy.
You could get active speakers that operate on mains or batteries, but these are not cheap. Or you could have an amplifier in the house and take speaker wires out through a window, which would only have to be open a small amount. A top-opening window would be best. If you live in a house you could take wires out of the attic, as there's generally a small gap at the edge of the roof so air can circulate around the roof timbers. If the attic isn't floored it's probably not worth the risk.
There are wireless speakers but their audio quality may not be as good as a regular speaker. They are also significantly more expensive than regular (outdoor) speakers and may interfere with other things such as your WiFi.
