Dual LU43PB Review by Anthony R.

I have these hooked up to my 2008 Polaris RZR, they work great and fairly loud speakers, good product for the money, they got rained on the other day and didnt effect them at all, still work great the next day.


Dual LU43PB Review by winter

These things are perfect for my patio which is around 50'x14'. The sound they put out is good quality. Due to the mounting setup they can be mounted at a high angle to the surface to which they are attached (happened to be a big deal in my setup). The bass sounds great but too loud so that the neighbors call the cops every time I have a party. Holding up well int he weather so far, 3 months in.


Dual LU43PB Review by Erik A. Berger

I bought a pair of these as outdoor deck/ambiance speakers as temporaries while I decide on a higher end next season, and after hearing them, I really don't think I'll even be bothering with looking next year. these sound really great for the price.

Construction: the body is plastic, as are most of the thumb screws that attach the brackets to the speakers, but the plastic feels sturdy and thick enough not to tone the sound too much, the bracket is stamped, hardened steel, painted to match. the speakers have small amounts of vibration damping material where they meet the brackets, which is nice if for nothing else to keep the speakers exactly where you set them.

Drivers:
woofer: appears to be 4.25", foam surround and plastic composite cone
mid: plastic cone, plastic surround.
tweeter: plastic dome tweeter

not high end stuff, but feels and looks like it'll last at least a few years.

aesthetics: they look just fine, they're pretty small at 5.5" wide but that's again not a bad thing inherently. the 'dual' logo does rotate to accommodate any orientation you choose, but its hardly visible from 5 feet and almost looks like a 'JBL' logo (observation, not really relevant).

Sound: before I start critiquing these, I want to say that I'll be comparing these to a vastly different Klipsch set I have in my garage, and I was not at all expecting these to sound good.

At low volumes, these are very well balanced and even have a little bit of their own presence. when I researched these, I noticed the frequency response wasn't impressive at all, but I am very impressed with the low range response for a 4.25" woofer. the highs are a bit shrill which is jut the nature of this type of tweeter. the sound doesn't give me a headache, and can be somewhat cured with a treble adjustment. the mid-range of the speaker is really only apparent in low volumes... which if we're honest, is where 99% of these speakers sold will ever be used.

at high volumes (and here is where I was surprised) they don't want to distort, and they don't feel uncomfortable. the bass keeps on par with the highs, and the mids are a bit lacking.

Durability:
I burned in two sets of these (one new, one Amazon.com warehouse deals 'used') for 50 hours with a 100W RMS amp at something like 20W@8ohms

they didn't really loosen up much (because the surrounds aren't Butyl rubber and the driver material is lower end) but I am confident after that that I will never blow these speakers, and the only way they'll ever die is one of two ways: if an animal eats through the grill and ruins the foam surround, or if the foam surround just breaks down with use and weather elements (in Minnesota winters, etc).

Other Thoughts:
the grills aren't meant to be removed, but they look exactly as pictured on here with the grilles off (which is pretty nice, actually)
they feel higher quality than $10-15/speaker.
they sound WAY better than $10-15/speaker.

I say well done, Dual.
a company that used to make complete crap has maybe stepped out of it's awkward teens and into maturity.
