Are you connecting these speakers in parallel with the others speakers located by the pool? Have you check what Ohm load you are putting on your amp? most outdoor speakers are rated 4 ohms/each and if you connect them in parallel you are dropping the load to 2 ohms and most amps (receivers) will overheat under such loads . In that case they should be connected in series and yes you might need to turn the volume up but you are not overloading the amp . it is just a suggestion that might save you some $ not having to replace the amp
I am running them parallel..I'm not too worried about it, I'm using an old amp and it's been that way for years. I can't recall if the rock speakers are 8 or 4 ohm though. Thank you for the support!

What do you mean by 70 volts? I couldn't find that spec anywhere.
Hmm maybe I got my data wrong I can't find it now.
