How much people? I'd say the minimum for a social is the PartyBox 100 (or its current version), on a tripod. If you leave it in the floor then less people will hear it. If your social is a dozen people, just take a few small JBLs (Flip or Charge), pair them and place them around the area you want to play.
50W will do a small childrens garden party, 100W minimum for an adult garden party, preferably more. I've got a JBL party box 100W, and it's just about loud enough, in my opinion. I'm thinking of getting another so I can split them up and point them in to the garden in stereo for a better sound stage and overall coverage.
JBL partybox encore, but better the partybox 100 or any of the successors like 110. (you could try to get a used partybox 100 series, also an older model) . The 1XX weighs about 20 pounds but it has a lot of volume and is enough to have an outdoor dance party
Generally speaking anywhere that displays The installment price right on the item. Isn’t somewhere you want to shop. I’d look into a JBL partybox. I have 2 of the 100s and they are great. We are getting close to the time of year that people liquidate them. ~200-250 a piece cheaper if you can still find a 100 but they are pretty scarce.
I use 2 JBL Party Boxes 100 for my AppleTV 4K. They have done a good job for several years now.
I like the JBL Party boxes. I have 2 I use with my TV. I have 2 Party box 100s. They are older now but work great.
I bought a JBL Party Box 100 not realizing how big it was. The thing is awesome and bumps.
