Heyall, I am pretty much new to the HT and kind of reading a lot of threads in the last week or so and has been very informative.
Here is a silly Q.

I brought a pair of Polk Audio RT 3000i L&R floor speakers for 50 each. I am inquiring if these will be good enough to run a simple outdoor home theater set up for just watching movies. I think these are really made for music audio, but i dont know LOL.

Here are some of the specs for it.

Subwoofer 2 - 8" Dynamic Balance¨ subwoofers, shielded Amplifier Specifications 300 Watts Continuous Average Power into 4 Ohms with
1% THD, 30 - 200Hz
Mid/Woofer 2 - 6-1/2" Dynamic Balance mid/bass drivers,Tweeter 1 - 1" Dynamic Balance Tri-laminate dome tweeter, shielded
Overall Frequency Response 18Hz - 26kHz
Recommended Amplifier Power 50 - 500 watts/channel
Efficiency (dB 1M/1W) 92
Crossover (for the mid-high array) driver #1 (bottom) 2nd order LPF @ 1.2kHz;driver #2 (upper, near tweeter) 2nd order LPF @ 2kHz, 80Hz 2nd order electrical HPF on both drivers
Inputs all speaker level inputs are 5-way binding posts
Subwoofer has speaker and line level inputs
Cabinet Size 48" H x 10" W x 18" D
Footprint Size 11" W x 18-1/2" D ( 27.94cm W x 46.99cm D )

At this time i have not got a center or rears.
If they are o.k for home theater, what receivers do you recommend also to power these fronts.
Thanks.

I couldn't find much on the RT 3000i but I did find out a little bit on the 2000i. It looks like they have an internal amp for the built in subwoofers but if the rest of the speaker is rated @ 4 ohms you may want to check the 505 to see if it can handle a 4 ohm load. But on paper they look pretty darn good for $50 a piece.
