I'll give it a try...
I just installed some outdoor speakers at a local restaraunt, and if you have all the right tools, it should only take a couple of hours or less, depending upon what exactly you want to do, and how neat of a job you want to do too.
If you have a receiver, buy some 16 gauge speaker cable that is long enough to run along the floorboard around the outter walls to where you want to place your speakers. Connect the speaker cables to the "B" speaker output on your receiver.
Leave some extra speaker cable to play with until you have positioned your outdoor speaker to where you want them. Make sure your outdoor speakers are "weather resistant" or "weather proof" and find a solid mounting place for each speaker on either side of your listening area. Follow the mounting instructions provided by the outdoor speaker manufacturer.
Connect the speakers (make sure the positive "+" and negative "-" connections all match), turn on your receiver and press the "speaker B" button, and you should be all set.
If you have any more specific questions (like if you are going with ground outdoor speakers or wireless outdoor speakers, etc.), I would be glad to give you further information.
Enjoy!

First, you need to have a reciever that has at least a second pair of speaker output terminals on back (most do). Then you need to run the wires thru the wall (it's usually easier to run them down into th ebasement first, then thru the outside wall), and get a decent pair of outdoor speakers (Bose 251's are nice). You can't keep regular home speakers outside, because they will be ruined as soon as they get damp.
Good Luck.

You'll need to be more specific I think before you'll get any serious answers.
