To drill into siding, go near the top of the siding where it’s most narrow. Siding itself is not strong enough to hold a speaker; try it, and the siding will sag and potentially drop your speaker. So drill a hole, insert an anchor, and then bolt the mounting bracket into place.

Can you mount to vinyl siding?
Vinyl siding looks great, but if you want to anchor accessories, affix a mounting block directly to the structure of the house. Vinyl siding is a popular, economical building material. Instead, cut a hole through the siding and affix a mounting block to the underlying sheathing or framework of the house.

To find studs through vinyl siding, you will need a stud finder for studs and a metal detector for metal. The stud finder will locate wood studs, while the metal detector will locate metal studs. The siding is screwed and nailed to studs. Studs are typically installed with nails or screws into the framing members.
Is it OK to drill into siding?
You can safely drill into any vinyl sidings if you take a few precautions and follow the correct steps. However, you should avoid doing drilling when the weather is cold as the siding can become brittle. You may want to consider using vinyl siding clips instead of drilling.

Do outdoor speakers need a receiver?
Just like an indoor audio system, you’re going to need a receiver to connect all your speakers and music devices. Since receivers are typically expensive and not made to be outside, you’ll need to set up your receiver indoors.
What is behind vinyl siding?
Underlayment Underlayment or weather resistive barrier (WRB) is installed between the siding and the sheathing. This can be tar paper or a house wrap such as HardieWrap® or Tyvek HomeWrap®. HardieWrap® is great for keeping water out and at the same time letting water vapor escape from the house.
Is there plywood behind vinyl siding?
Sheathing Nailability Vinyl siding can be installed over common wood sheathings such as plywood, oriented strand board (OSB), or other materials (e.g., foam plastic insulating sheathing).
Can you use regular speaker wire outside?
Firstly – it is imperative that any speaker wire you run to outdoor units be CL2 or CL3 certified. Therefore, when running outdoor speaker wire underground, it is strongly recommended (and in fact perhaps legally required in some cases) that you run it through electrical grade PVC conduit.
