Wireless weather proof speakers

Evening ladies n gentlemen,

So I have a weird need to have music going pretty much wherever I am. I'm currently looking to get music into the bathroom of my apartment. Due to steam i'm thinking waterproof speakers might be the way to go.

I could use my my yamaha HTR-6060 receiver if it helps, but would be just as satisfied to work off an iphone/ipod (which I can connect to my receiver anyways).

It doesn't need to be super awesome clear sound as more often than not it'll be playing over a shower, but something with decent volume won't hurt. Does anyone have any similar experience or suggestions? I was sorta browsing some rocketfish wireless setups at future shop, and that worked out to be about a $200 buyin plus speakers and that'd mean having a receiver in the bathroom, granted i'm sure I could hide/protect it in a cabinet shelf, but i'm still not sure how much it would enjoy things.

Just looking for thoughts n ideas.

Wireless speakers in most all cases are NOT wireless.
As these speakers need an amplifier, internal or external, they need power, either A/C, or a whole bunch of "D" cells every week or 2. So if you use A/C, than you have a power wire dangling from the speaker to the wall plug.
Either get In-Ceiling speakers built in, or get an inexpensive set of outdoor/patio speakers for $129. and find a way to get the wires into the room.
But than, this is not for the WC in your car or RV, is it?
