I suggested months ago Canes gets active LFRs for the great outdoors. But M5s are good too. Make sure to get a 1500 'cause they're power hungry!

I'd love to see the M5s in an outdoor speaker. I plan on putting 4 speakers outside on a 4 channel ADA-1000. Thinking I'll run two as left speakers and two as right speakers. I guess it would also be practical to wire each set in parallel and run them off a 2 channel amp.

Likely you will use Algonquins (outdoor M3s). You may want to consider setting them up far in front of your sitting area so that you have some sense of a soundstage. I've tried M3s 12 feet apart with an MLP of 14 feet and the soundstage was excellent. You may be able to place them further apart perhaps - you'd have to experiment. You could also place them further than 14 feet but that may not give you enough slam - if you really care about that outdoors.
An M5 outdoor would require some research from Axiom. The enclosure has to be made stiff enough for the extra weight of the HP driver and the mid. And it can't flex under dynamics.

They will be under a deck on our lower patio that stretches 45 feet across. I can mount them against the house or use the ceiling mounts and move them however far out away from the house up to 15 feet. I would like to keep them somewhat close to the house so we can hear them directionally in the hot tub. I could theoretically run 6 out door speakers and create an "L" shape with them.

Given that they will be installed high above your head, you can't expect them to give you a soundstage. Not sure why you'd want more than two.

More sound to make it out into the yard across the pool.
