Not clear from item description: is this 1 speaker or 2 speakers?

Because these are 360 degrees omni-directional speakers -- only ONE is needed (although some models are sold in pairs). The hollow space underneath the speaker creates the bass sound thumps, the speaker itself is the mid-range sound, and the tweeter is the high range sound. So you get bass, mid and high range sounds amplified in a full 360 range from a single speaker. That's the beauty of these. I have one in my backyard and it sounds fantastic.

I plan on setting 2 of these speakers about 30'--50' from amp. What gauge wire should I use ?

My speakers are about 40' and 60' from amp and I used a 12 gauge landscape wire, buried in the ground. Think my amp is 100 watt, I leave volume about 3/4, and control volume from my phone. Has worked great all summer

What is the ohms resistance for these speakers?

8 ohms. But keep in mind they're not not very efficient so you'll need good power to drive them to 'party' levels. Also, many of these intstallations are distant from the amp, so on a 50 ft run, if you use less than 12ga wire, the effective resistance will increase significantly, meaning even a more powerful amp needed.

Have you considered Bose freespace 51 speakers before your purchase? Are you still happy with the TICs?

I have had a pair of Bose 51s for five years and just recently added two 8" premiums w/8" premium subwoofer to my backyard. Have to say, highs are still crisper and mid-range sound is more natural with the high millage Bose pair than with the TIC setup. I compared side by side and the TIC has a little better bass output (not surprising with three 8" drivers) but overall sound is still more pleasing with Bose. No regrets, I am not returning anything but my next pair if/when the Bose give out will be another set of 51s.
