I have two identical pretty basic Bluetooth speakers that are able to be paired and synchronized.

I’m looking for the best configuration of where to place them if I’m outside. Specifically lounging outside around the pool not really at a high volume, but perhaps volume makes a difference of where I should place them

I tried searching on google but most of the stuff I saw was in reference to indoor sound systems.

I tried putting them at 3 and 9 o’clock and the sound was crazy like I had headphones it was almost distracting.

Is there a rule of thumb for things like this? Right now I have them at about 1 and 11 o clock and it feels more natural (rather than the sound being in my brain)

Thanks in advance
