Outdoor Speakers Patio Pair OSD Audio AP850

When looking for outdoor speakers these need to be considered. I purchased for a large outdoor patio on the side of my home. They are hung about 25feet off the ground under my soffit at about 10 feet apart. I had a party this last weekend and was asked many times of what brand are the speakers and how much were they? When I stated that they were OSD and not a popular name brand the guests were very impressed. The bass is very impressive as well as the overall sound. I am fairly certain there will be orders in the near future from the many inquiries. Great price and great sound. Very pleased with the purchase.

We put these on the outside of one of our event buildings and they sound awesome. Might even purchase another set to put at home.

I had a party over the summer and the yard was transformed into a nite club! With these speakers there is not one dead zone in the yard.. Crisp clean sound with awesome bass ! My neighbors love me lol... You will not be disappointed with this set of speakers believe me and I tried many others ...

Replaced NHT outdoor speakers, no comparison. Much improved sound quality, stage, and coverage.

I purchased two of these speakers after much research into outdoor speakers of all types. I went to several stores to hear different types/models etc... After much deliberation I decided to go with the AP850's. I could not be happier. The sound quality, including base, is fantastic. I am buying another pair today. If you are questioning whether to buy these or not...don't. Just buy them! You will not be disappointed. Truly an awesome product! Thank you.

No problems here, I wish I had more. My wife left for the day and came home to outdoor surround sound. We Have 47 acres on a hill and I hung them up in the trees. What a great sound. I have two Klipsh outdoors and the four of them combined sound amazing. I really want to get some sound tracks to freak out the neighbors, but right now the music and sound is great

I have used this site several times and have hf15s 10s ap 650 and 850 and tree sub and omini sub amp 300 speaker wire all great products and a great price will not be disappointed

I bought these last minute for our Christmas Party to replace an old set of Bose speakers that were mounted out over our patio for over 8 years. I was skeptical, but I needed a good set of speakers for this party. Also, having been a pro in the music industry for 20 years, I did not want generic pair of patio speakers. I powered them up with an old analogue 40watt Yamaha amp, and they came alive. It was hard to not keep them cranked up, except it was hard to talk over them. The fidelity was amazing and both the warmth and definition remained distinct even at lower levels. They did well with all styles of music from reggae, to hip-hop, to blues, to classical. The bass was undeniable without being overwhelming and the highs were distinct, clear, and smooth without being too elegant. Midrange sat exactly where it needed to, to compliment and complete the perfect package, at a very inexpensive price tag. I certainly will be ordering another set for the pool area, and perhaps a few more pair for the rest of the yard and house.

I bought these speakers to replace some very expensive, outdoor, high tech speakers I mounted on my 46' boat. The expensive speakers sound great around my pool, but were too distorted out on the lake (even with the addition of a powerful amplifier). These AP850 speakers are awesome!! Their size/weight was bigger than I expected, but they were easy to mount with the assistance from a friend. The sound produced was exactly what I had hoped for, finally!! People in the marina and out on the lake will definitely hear me this year.

I bought these speakers so that they could be installed in a 500 sq ft covered patio area in my backyard. After reading some of the reviews, it appeared that only two speakers would have been sufficient. I went ahead and bought four. I daisy-chained 2 on one side and 2 on the other. All I can say is "WOW." These speakers are incredible. Great highs and lows with no need for a subwoofer. I have a Sony STRDA4600ES receiver that controls these 4 speakers as well as Bose speakers in my house. This combination rocks the neighborhood. When I say the neighborhood, I mean that 1/2 mile away you can hear them! Definitely 2 would have been enough, but putting 4 at the four corners makes you feel like you are in the recording studio when youre sitting in the middle of them. I have no regrets about buying these speakers. My wife and I love them, and my kids do too. Everyone wants to know when we're having the next party. OSD also made everything easy. Easy to order and they ship super fast. Thanks!

I'm very pleased with the speakers. Great pice, fast shipping and good communication.They are well built and are of good quality. The brackets to hang them are well built of strong metal as well. They really rock it out for their size and I am pleased. I have a big yard/pool deck area and it sound pretty good outside. Obviously the closer you are the better. I tested them inside and they were great. Obviously you lose quite a bit when you go outside. I would go for a size up if you have a really big area you want to cover. Installation was tricky for me. I went through the eave, across the lower attic, through the upper attic, down into the upstairs office closet, under the carpet into the hall, down into the downstairs closet, through to the cupboard under the stairs and finally through the corner of the living room wall to connect to my receiver. Obviously it was a long way to go but I can now play the radio, Cd player, DVD player and digital TV through the speakers. It wasn't very difficult but it is tedious and time consuming work. It was better than having to spend $500 dollars for a "proffesional" to install it. Get plenty of speaker wire because it goes quick. I originally bought 200ft but ended up getting another 200ft so I wouldn't have to splice the wire.

These speakers are an excellent choice for those who are looking for an outstanding speaker while still keeping to a low budget. Prior to using these, I invested in a old pair of Bose 101 (Series II) and I am telling you the AP850s sound three times better than the 101s. Please note that these speakers are rather large and may look a little bulky in a small sitting area. Considering the sound quality and the price, I believe there is no better choice. Would recommend these to anyone looking!!!!

These are a perfect 2.0 outdoor stereo solution. Plenty of power handling capability and great presence throughout the spectrum.

Today the AP850s arrived. I couldn't wait ... installed them on the side of the house with about 20 feet of separation. I replaced some 5.25" Niles speakers and the difference with the 8" is amazing. Great outdoor sound and presence from a 2-speaker system. This reminds me of my old Klipsch LaScallas (in the pre-subwoofer days) with the huge bass drivers. Thanks to you for your help in getting just what I was wanting.

I purchased the AP850 had an issue with the tweeter on one speaker and with no hassle they sent another one right away. The speakers sound great. They are a bit big,they are 8" woofers, but the sound even sold my wife on them. They can easily supply great sound for even the largest areas. Only had them for a couple of weeks now but highly recommend this speaker and outdoorspeakerdepot !! Will definitely be a returning customer! Thanks and Keep up the good work!

Hooked up a pair of AP850's last night. They sound awesome at all volume levels and have incredible range! Second purchase from OSD. Highly recommend the company and products.

When I received the speakers they were double boxed and in excellent condition. The speakers are powered by a Carver "Cube", 201 watt per channel amplifier and a Carver preamp. The speakers have a deep, rich sound. My daughters who are both married have listened to the speakers have both commented that the speakers sound like good indoor speakers. My wife loves them as they are mounted up next to the ceiling and are out of the way and sound great. I think the money was well spent. My daughter that lives in Sparks wants to buy a set for her house.

1 acre coverage, NO PROBLEM... Very Clean, even at high volume levels... Bass will give you 22hz as stated in the spec sheet also... ~WARNING~ These outdoor speakers are not for the faint of heart... Give them some power, and they'll blow you away...

I installed these speakers in a Volvo dealership I work at to replace the aging radio we had, in which you couldn't hear halfway across the shop. All I have to say, is these things pound, there is no other speaker, within this price range, anywhere on the market. I recommend them for their value and sound quality.

Boys and girls I would like to post a comment on these speakers but first I'd like everyone to know what I'm comparing these to. My wife and I just built a 5k square foot house and I ordered speakercraft AIM 7 two(s) and four(s) for the whole house with the exception of our master bedroom and our workout room. I was going to buy something nice for these two rooms. I have Speakercrafts everywhere including AIM cinema 5's, wide 5's, and LCR 5's in my theater room. So I spent some HUGE money to get good sound. On whim I decided to give these a try after reading some reviews on AVSforums. I got these installed on my speakercraft mzc-88 8 zone receiver and MAN I'm IMPRESSED. I should have saved a few thousand dollars throughout the house and went with these everywhere!!! The sound is MUCH richer than the sound from the speakercraft's IMO. You will not go wrong with these speakers....If you don't like them I'd like to know what you believe is better.... I also got some AP850 outdoor speakers WOW...Again, glad I didn't spend the $$$ on speakercraft as I have heard a friends and mine BLOW his out of the H20 ;0).

I almost dropped $700 for some Polk outdoors then I came upon this website and its great reviews of these speakers. Although somewhat skeptical, I took the leap. If your reading this, trust me you should too. Amazing sould quality from a moderately priced product. I purchased two originally but am now debating purchasing two more to really tick off the neighbors.

Very, Very pleased with the sound from these speakers. I was a bit sceptical, I am a low budget audiofile but know good equipment when I hear it. These speakers offer a lot of value for the money. I have them over my 1000 square foot deck- they sound fantastic, bass was better then I expected. better still, they easily fill my 10,000 square foot yard when good imaging and bass. Aside from a small issue (hence the 4 stars)which was rectified, the transaction went well. I highly recommend these speakers. You will not be disappointed.

GREAT sound! DO NOT pay for overpriced name brand speakers. These babys will outperform the best. We throw many parties in our backyard and we are amazed at how many people compliment and inquire about our sound system. We refer everyone to outdoorspeakerdepot.com.

I purchased a pair of the 850's and a pair of A650's for my patio and pool area. I am using a Onkyo TX-8522 to drive them. It is a sweet combo. The sound quality is excellent!!! I have had parties with 50 are more people and everyone had been impressed with the clarity speakers when they are cranked up. Very, Very, nice speaker at a fair price. Thanks, J

I was a little nervous about purchasing without listening. I am so glad I took the chance. The sound is fantactic. I have friends with more expensive brand name speakers that are asking where I purchased these.
