It's easier and less expensive than you think to add great sound to your deck or patio. The OSD Audio AP520 Patio Speakers are built tough and can play at high listening levels without sacrificing sound quality. These outdoor patio speakers provide rich bass and a very full sound from a small cabinet and can be mounted vertically and horizontally thanks to the included swivel brackets. An excellent patio speaker for small to medium size areas (300 to 500 sq ft), the AP520s include 5-1/4" polypropylene woofers and 1" Supernil soft dome tweeters for excellent highs and lows. With handling power up to 120 watts and weather-sturdy components, you'll experience rich outdoors for years to come.
Can these patio speakers really handle all kinds of weather?
OSD Audio outdoor speakers are specifically 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 aluminum 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.

Question:
I'm trying to decide between the AP640 High Performance speakers and the AP525 High Definition speakers. Which speaker do you consider to have the best sound and deepest bass? These speakers will be installed outside on an open (uncovered) deck. Will direct rain and sunshine hurt these speakers? Any discounted shipping coupon available?
Answer:
AP640 will give you better bass. But the AP525 will give you better sound in mids to highs. If you want good bass and good mids and highs, get the AP650.
When you install the patio speakers, it will be best to install under some kind of covers, install them tilt toward to the ground.
AP640, AP525 and AP650 all have free ground domestic shipping.

This is for our outdoor patio and we are really enjoying it! - Lattie
These speakers are everything they where said to be! So glad I didn't spend the money on the much more expensive competitive models. Have them wired on our back patio and sound outdoors is great. - Bunting
Great speakers for the money. Quality bass sound for the size. These work pretty well with the 30ft seperation on our patio. Super deal..Thanks! - Larry K
I bought these to use as patio speakers and they do a fantastic job. They are strong in the mids and highs with excellent clarity. They arn't the strongest in bass but that isn't what I want in an outside speaker, if you do, buy a speaker with a bigger woofer. Besides too much bass outside becomes muddy fast overpowering the mids and highs forcing you to turn up the volume, not what your neighbors want I am sure.
A pair of these speakers easily cover my 15x25 patio. I mounted them under the eaves of my garage at about 8 ft. high and I made wood shims as a mounting base that angled the speakers downward about 20 deg. With audio highs and mids being directional I mounted the speakers upside down (tweeter down)to point more directly at ear level blending the distance between standing and sitting at about 12 ft. away. I tried them both up and down and down was sharper with more mid and high definition.
These are excellent outdoor speakers and the price is a bonus. Being practical I could never imagine spending a lot of money on a speaker that I am leaving outside to the elements. I use a Pioneer 100 watt/channel receiver that powers the speakers just fine and as a side note I purchased them in white and painted them to match my house.
Me and my family are very pleased! - MTkid
We bought a pair of these speakers a few years ago and mounted them over our outdoor hot tub, they have been great. We bought this pair for the back of our speed boat. We had a new stereo and speakers installed in the boat but when we were out of the boat (partying with friends) we couldn't hear the music. Now we can!!! We mounted them on the rails of the boat so they are above the boat, but detachable. - PJ
These guys have amazing customer service and handled a change in my order swiftly and professionally. I have shopped with them twice and have been COMPLETELY satisfied. - Gregarious
I bought these speakers for my outside kitchen, and the sound quality is terrific. I was somewhat skeptical, especially when they were priced so low, but when I mounted them and hooked them up to my receiver, I couldn't believe the great sound quality! - Daryl

Easy to install and great appearance, also added inline volume control which works very well. Am using outdoors, and would recommend to a friend. - Al the fish
Speakers sound great and were exactly what we wanted for our patio. During shipping both speakers got a few dings that I wasn't all that happy about, but they weren't show stopping damages or anything. Once mounted, they look great and we've been enjoying them just a week after placing the order. - Ben W
Can not believe the speedy delivery. I am using these speakers for my rear surround and what a very nice sounding speaker. Great price and even better sound. Thank you keep up the good work. - chris

I was impress on how well these speakers sounded, they sounded just as good as the pair of Boston's they replaced, and for the price, it was a good deal.I would strongly recommend them. - Big Al
