Features and Specifications: OSD's Audio AP640 Patio Speakers are an excellent choice for medium to large patios or decks (500-800 sq feet). These outdoor patio speakers are built solid and offer rich bass and a very full sound. The AP640s include 6 1/2" polypropylene woofers for excellent low frequency as well as a 1" supernil tweeter to cover those high notes. If bass is important to you, remember that the bigger the woofer, the more potential bass. A 6.5 speaker has more bass than 5.25 and 8" has more bass than the 6.5". The AP640s crank out excellent low frequency and with handling power up to 150 Watts and weather-sturdy components, you'll experience beautiful outdoor sound at high or low volumes. In addition, the included swivel brackets let you mount the AP640 patio speakers vertically and horizontally.
Can These Speakers Handle Cold Climates?
All of OSD Audio's outdoor speakers are designed to withstand water, rain, sun, snow and any extreme weather conditions, although it's always a good idea to install your new patio speakers under eaves for extra protection. Features that guarantee you’ll enjoy our patio speakers for years to come include gold-plated binding posts, solid brass and stainless steel hardware, rust-proof grille and a mineral filled composite cabinet that can handle temperature fluctuations from –20F to 200F.
How do I connect the speakers to my source equipment?
Most customers connect their outdoor speakers directly to household amplification, that is directly to a home a receiver or outboard receiver/amp stored safely in a tool shed or other covered space. OSD Audio patio speakers are compatible with just about any home stereo receiver/amp and most receivers/amplifiers today have A+B channels, so you can use the extra channel to drive exterior sound. It’s always a good idea to check your amplifier or receiver manual for the correct connection procedures.

Questions and Answers:  By Dennis Tuohy from Daly City, CA on September 19, 2012 do these speakers have to have protection from the elements By Customer Service - Q&A on September 19, 2012Answer:Hi Dennis,
The AP640 patio speaker has a ported design and should be installed under eaves. If your application calls for direct exposure, we recommend the AP525s as an alternative.

By Dennis Tuohy from Daly City, CA on September 19, 2012 I want to replace Bose 151 speakers which say on them "Compatible with Amplifiers or receivers rated 10 - 100 watts/channel rated 4 to 8 ohms IEC 50W continuous 6 ohms" will these AP 640 speakers replace them? Will still be using my Bose system amp. By Customer Service - Q&A on September 19, 2012Answer:Hi Dennis,
The AP640 is an 8-ohm speaker. As long as the amp is rated for 8-ohm speakers and has enough power, it should work fine.
CL/MA 1296By nim from chicago,il on June 29, 2012 when will this item be in stock? By Customer Service - Q&A on July 3, 2012Answer:Hi Nim,
The AP640 will be available at the end of the month. As an alternative, take a look at the AP650. They are the top of the line in the 6.5" size. I have a pair myself and can't recommend them enough. The sound quality is superb.

By mark from socal on June 30, 2012 im building a patio, and i want to put two speakers, one on left side and one on right side as you walk out to patio from house. what do i need besides these speakers? if possible i would like receiver outside installed flushed in wall. By Customer Service - Q&A on July 2, 2012Answer:Hi Mark,
For a basic outdoor patio system, we recommend a pair of patio speakers placed 8 to 10 feet apart, somewhere protected from the direct elements. A nice addition is an outdoor volume control like our OSD-OVC300. The source can be a small 2 channel receiver like the Sherwood RX4105 or one of our 2- Channel Power Amplifiers like our OSD-AMP120. You can plug in your iPod, iPhone or connect directly to a computer for unlimited choices of streaming content or iTunes Library. Your speaker placement will be based upon accessibility to the speaker wire from your source. We also offer new WPA-650 Wireless Patio Speakers as an option but you still have to find a place to connect the power supply (AC outlet) and a speaker wire between the two patio speakers. I hope that helps and thank you for considering OSD branded products.

By andy from ohio on May 9, 2012 i have a set of bose 151 that are 4ohms that i want to relocate down by my pool and mount the AP640 under my overhang will i be able to run both sets of speakers at the same time with the ohm differance By Customer Service - Q&A on May 13, 2012Answer:Hi Andy:
It really depends on the Amplifier/Receiver you are using. Typically if your connecting a 4 ohm speaker to Speaker A and a second pair of 8 ohm speakers to speaker B there is no problem when running either A or B. The problem arises when you decide to run A and B together. Both speakers are wired in parallel and create a 2.6 ohm (when run at the same time) load which unless you are utilizing our AMP200 or AMP300 both of which are High Current Amplifiers and 2 ohm stable.Note: you can tell immediately if an amp is 2 ohm stable when it has a 2 ohm power rating or states that it is 2 ohm stable. Most Receivers are rated at 8 ohm but can run a single 4 ohm speaker. For your application you may need to add an Impedance Matching Volume Control like our OVC300 to connect both speakers together. Note, the BOSE 4 ohm would count as 2. Add that to the 8 ohm pair (counts as 1) for a multiplier of 3. Your three choices on the Volume Control are 1/2x-4x-8x. There is no setting for 3 so you set it at the next highest setting or 4x. The OVC300 is an Weather Resistant model meant for outdoor usage. Not only does it help with Impedance matching your speakers but it adds additional control in the zone area. It is a passive device that allows you to attenuate or turn the volume down. This would be perfect for tying your system while adding the AP640s.
TLBy david mccoy from 32955 on January 28, 2013 I'm looking for a outdoor speaker that puts out some good bass, the last pair I purchased from outdoor depot disappointed in the quality of bass, I don't push the bass hard just want quality sound with a moderate level of bass output. Please suggest speakers in your inventory within the max range of $100 a pair. By Customer Service - Q&A on January 28, 2013Answer:Hi David,
What model did you buy originally? The rule of thumb is the bigger the woofer the more potential bass. A 6.5 speaker has more bass than 5.25 and 8" has more base than the 6.5". What are you using for an amplifier?
TL /MA - 1589By HBE from Laguna Hills, CA on May 10, 2012 Does the AP640 High Performance 6.5" Patio Speakers come with speaker wire? If so, how many feet? By Customer Service - Q&A on May 10, 2012Answer:HBE,
The patio speakers do not include speaker cable. We suggest purchasing our 16-2, which is good up to 100ft. For runs longer than 100 feet, consider using 14-gauge cable.

823By John from Kansas City on May 12, 2012 What size amp should I use to properly power the AP640 speakers? By Customer Service - Q&A on May 13, 2012Answer:Hi John:
If you are planning to drive just these two speakers I would start with our AMP120. If your looking to do more possibly adding a second pair or even a speaker selector then the AMP200 has a lot more flexibility plus a true audiophile sound quality. There is a reason it is over double the price of the AMP120.
TLBy Dee from New Iberia, LA on October 23, 2011 I no longer have an indoor receiver but would like to hook patio speakers to my television to listen to the XM radio when we bar-b-que. Will this work with these speakers?
By Customer Service - Q&A on October 24, 2011Answer:Most TVs include and RCA Out so technically you could run the them to the TV. The problem is you can't power the speakers via the TV. So you will need some sort of amplifier or receiver to supply power to your AP640s. By Russell Tomaszewski from Corona, CA on January 18, 2012 can you mount this side ways ??? By Customer Service - Q&A on January 19, 2012Answer:Russell,
You can mount them sideways yes. I would mount them so that the woofers are on the inside & the tweeters on the outside.

I purchased these for an outdoor patio ceiling. I initially felt they would be too big. I contacted the company for a refund and received an immediate response. I changed my mind and kept the speakers. They were easy to install and set up and produce a great sound.
Customer service was wonderful! A plus for any company!

Great Movie Theatre Speakers
April 22, 2013
I have four of these for my home movie theatre, and with a few tweaking and adjustments with the amp, they sound great. For those that were like me trying to find out how much watts and ohms, I have only 80 watts continous to each speaker at 8 ohms and they sound great.
Cons:The mounting bracket seems weak when using speakers vertically.

The sound was better than expected. My yard is rather large and I could hear the speakers a hundred feet away from the patio. Very low to no distortion. Standing right next to the speakers sounded just as clear as standing fifty feet away. Excellent set of speakers for the price.

January 28, 2013
I bought these for my husband. He did all the research
and made a hint to me for Christmas. He installed them outside for
our deck and backyard. They sounds and look outstanding. The sound
is crystal clear. We have a very large deck 20X26 and a huge back
yard. We don't have to turn them up real loud and you can hear it
all over the yard. Very easy to install. Takes less than 5 minutes.
Can't wait to really enjoy our deck and back yard this spring and
summer.

OSD provides exceptional customer service! When ordering
these speakers, I missed the option to select the color and ordered
white by accident and didn't notice until the following day when
checking my email receipt of purchase. I was hosting a large party
and didn't have much time to get these speakers installed so the
customer service rep. sent out the black speakers and issued a RMA
to send the white set back once I recieve them and they paid for my
shipping cost as well. THANK YOU so much for having TOP NOTCH
customer service! I love the speakers and have already recommended
your site to some friends in the market for speakers!

certainly recommend them.

Speakers for the inside and out!
July 6, 2012
I mounted these speakers easily under a deck between the
beams. The sound they put out is solid for easy outdoor listening
and the price beats anything available at a local shop. I also
installed a 7.1 inwall home theatre system w/ the speakers
suggested by your tech. Saved a ton,sounds great, and looks good
for the price point. Haven't had anything negative to say about
your speaker products yet.
Pros:Attractive Design, Well priced, Easy To Set Up, Great Sound Quality, Easy to Mount
