Whether you’re having a cookout with some friends or family, swimming in a pool, playing some backyard games, enjoying a movie night, or just doing some yardwork outside, it’s always good to have your favorite tunes going. The problem is that most speakers, at least of suitable quality, are not designed to be used outdoors and exposed to the elements. Bluetooth speakers work, but those don’t tend to put off enough sound for a social gathering. Well, you’re in luck, because Best Buy has some outdoor rock speakers on sale for a whopping $800 off today. That’s right, normally $1,300, you can grab the Sonance 2.1-channel outdoor speaker system, with a subwoofer, for just $500. Wowzers. Grab that deal if you’re already interested or we can break down why these rocks are so badass.

Why spend $500 on this 2.1-channel outdoor rock speaker system?

If these were ordinary speakers, the specifications might not be that impressive. They’re decent, yes, but compared to a high-quality surround system they stand no chance. But we’re not talking about a premium surround system, are we? We’re talking about weather-resistant, 2.1-channel outdoor speakers with a subwoofer. Normally, you’d be lucky to find outdoor speakers that sound this good, let alone a system that includes a subwoofer. You gotta’ have that bass.

The system is capable of covering a 700-square-foot area for comfortable listening, perfect for any local backyard, patio, or porch setup. It comes with two 2-way 6-1/2-inch satellite rock speakers, which have 1-inch tweeters, plus one 10-inch rock subwoofer. So, there are three speakers in total counting the sub.

If you’re into tech numbers, they offer 89 decibels of sensitivity for crisp, robust audio, with a 50Hz to 20kHz satellite frequency response range and a 35Hz to 150kHz woofer frequency response range. Moreover, they offer 8 ohms of nominal impedance to ensure efficient power conduction. If you have no idea what any of those numbers or stats mean, don’t worry. It means these speakers sound pretty damn good, especially for an outdoor set. Your next cookout, camping session, or family get-together is going to be a blast.

But here’s the best part: They’re discounted by $800 today. Once this deal is over, you will not find this price available again anytime soon. Usually $1,300, they’re just $500 today. If you have a My Best Buy Rewards account and a Best Buy credit card you can also bring that price down even more with a rewards certificate. Even without extra rewards though, that’s a killer price. Rock on.

Festival season is right around the corner, and if you've never been festival camping before, it's quite the trip. Personally, I think there's no better way to connect with people in the music scene, and you're bound to make some friends along the way. Whether you're planning to enjoy Glastonbury, Coachella, or the renaissance faire, here's are my top tips for festival camping, including what to expect, what to bring, and how to make the most of your time.
What to pack for festival camping

The essentials for festival camping are more or less the same when you look at the basics. Just like with normal camping, you'll want to be as prepared as possible for any weather you might encounter. Between the scorching sun, chilly nights, and sudden rain, pack for these surprises. A tent and a good sleeping system are a great start.

Tested: Can you truly camp in comfort with a compact SUV like Mazda’s CX-50?
It's smaller than most other options, but is it all you need?

Overlanding is becoming increasingly popular, with some enthusiasts spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on their setups. However, it doesn’t need to be that way. You can have an enjoyable and comfortable time in the great outdoors with a pretty accessible small SUV.

To test this theory, I borrowed a Mazda CX-50 Meridian Edition, tossed some supplies in the back, and headed to a primitive camping spot in Upstate New York. So, just how comfortable can things get with an affordable vehicle, some basic camping supplies, and a free spot by some water?

Gr8tops’ JPOD converts your Jeep Wrangler into a “Personalized Overlanding Den”
The teardrop-style "pod" adds legit overlanding basecamp functionality to almost any stock Wrangler.

Jeep Wranglers and teardrop trailers have been staples of the overlanding scene long before there even was a modern overlanding scene. But South Carolina's Gr8tops is the first company we're aware of to combine the two into its one-of-a-kind JPOD conversion kit.

The JPOD or "Jeep Personalized Overlanding Den" cleverly modifies a stock Jeep Wrangler Unlimited to accommodate what amounts to a teardrop travel trailer directly to the frame. It starts with Gr8tops' JTRUK conversion to remove the back half of the Jeep body without cutting the frame. From there, the company replaces what it took with a squaredrop-style "pod" that's purpose-built for overlanding.
