AP650 High Definition Pair 6.5" Patio Speakers
Question:
Just received my outdoor patio speaker. It does not come with mounting screws etc., nor do instructions provide advice as to what is appropriate to use. Could you advise (i.e. on correct size and type of screws).
Answer:
Because customers attach the speakers to different surfaces, we don't include the screws for the brackets. Please go to your local hardware store to aquire the correct screws for your application.

Question:
I'm looking to get speakers for the rooftop deck on my house. I live in Baltimore, so they would be exposed to rain and snow throughout the year. It's a fairly large deck, as it covers the entire top of the row house (29' x 14'). I was looking at either the AP650s or AP525s. Which pair would be recommended for that size area? Also, are they made to be left outside and exposed to the elements year round, or are they intended for a patio type environment? Thank you for your help.
Answer:
For the size of the area you want to cover, the ap650 will be a good choice.
Yes you can leave them outside for rain and snow, it will be nice if you have some covering above them.

Question: I am looking for high end outdoor patio speakers. I will be using them with my home reciever (Denon AVR-2309CI). The only outdoor speakers I have heard are the Bose 251. I was not very impressed with the bass. The patio area is 20x24 and the entire backyard is probably about 4 or 5 times that. What outdoor speakers would you suggest?
Answer:
The AP650 is one of the best high end patio speakers that you won't break a bank to buy them. If you are OK with bigger size, the AP850 will give you more bass.
Question:
I'm trying to decide between the AP640 and AP650 speakers. I will be mounting on the outside of a reneovated firetruck we use for tailgating. Have 1500-2000watts of AMP to push the internal speakers as well as what we add to the exterior. Which is better for open space? Also does 1 equal 2 speakers when ordering?
Answer:
If you are using for tailgate party, I'd recommend the AP650 or AP660 (which has horn tweeter design for large area). The AP650 has better dynamic range. Yes 1 = 1 pair (two speakers)

Excellent sound... extremely satisfied with this product wished it was a little smaller in size... can't beat the quality/price. - Outdoorswoman

Believe everything positive you read on this site. I typically dont review products yet I had to take a moment for these. Installed the speakers on my back patio under the eaves and wow. Loud, incredibly crisp and super separation. Driving these speakers I am using a Denon receiver and could not be happier. They replaced the Klipsch I had before and I will never look back. Bass response is good yet a subwoofer would certainly help. A+ service, shipping, sound and of course price. Thank you OSD!!!!!! - Matthew from Bloomington, IN

I originally purchased some Boston speakers for 50% more than these AP650 speakers. The AP650s kicked their butt! The larger footprint undoubtedly helps the sound quality from the 650s. They produce sufficient bass to be enjoyable in a challenging outdoor environment and look great. They are a little power hungry (a higher wattage amp would help me), but that is a worthwhile consequence for quality sound. These were a great find. - Brian B.

Product was exactly as described and at a very competitive price. The speakerss sounded great and the connections on them allowed for good, weather-proof seals. - Denis

Outstanding music quality. I was skeptical at first, not knowing OutdoorSpeakerDepot before, but the quality and price were certainly there. I was looking for Bose sound quality and these are just as good (or better). I mounted them on the fence posts surrounding the pool and am looking forward to many years of great listening. - Dean

My review reads like many others. I looked at the 'name' brand speakers and refused to pay that much. I bought AP650 and they are fantastic! My neighbors cannot get over the sound. - Ron

I made my purchasing decision based on reviewer and your information on the web. I'm glad I made a good choice. These speakers sound better than the Polks and have more bass response than the Bose. I like the price tag. It is a good value, that's why I like shopping on the net. - Joshua

I purchased 2 pair of the AP650 speakers after reading the reviews. Had been listening to KLH and Klipsch along with some Sony speakers for my pool area on 4 1/2 acres with a 150 foot perimeter around it. These speakers have much better sound quality, definitely have better bass response, and will absolutely rock your world. We now provide summertime music for all the neighbors, which the closest one is 600 feet away. We have even had the police called on us in the middle of the day, and we live out in the boonies. I am very pleased with these speakers and would recommend them to anyone wanting a great sounding, well built speaker for their outdoors. - Nick

Originally purchased the A650 speakers but when i got them, there was a problem with them overloading my receiver due to an issue with the impednace only being 4 OHMS (the material that came with them said they were 8 Ohms). emailed the return desk and they promptly sent me a UPS return label. i sent them back, got a full refund and bought the AP650's. just hooked them up the other day and they sound awesome. Good bass, very clear and definitely sound as good if not better than all the other name brands costing at least twice as much. great company, great service, will do business again!!! - John

Have to admit this is a lot more speaker than I expected for the price. Only time will tell how they stand up to the elements but right now the sound is great. - Steve Canada

Great sound and great price. Surprised at how good bass response is for being outdoors. - Al H

Extremely fast, easy transaction. Speakers are excellent. Excellent bass. Well built. Wish I could use another pair. - Ray S.

Shipped same day. Took all week to get but live in FL. Good speakers for the price. Sounds great on our pool deck. Replaced Infinity Outriggers, much better sound. - Matt

Just recieved and installed my new speakers around my pool.Using them as my main A channel speaskers with A pair of atlantic tech. speakers in B channel.The sound is incredible,no comparision to the atlantic tech. speakers at half the price.Hope they stand up to the weather.Will consider replacing the atlantic tech. speakers with these. - Blane

O.S.D. is a worthy company to order from.they gave a dead on description of their AP650 speakers. I hooked them up to my onkyo tx-8222 receiver and wow! xlnt bass awesome mids and highs. I purchased 2 sets for my pool deck area but was amazed that 1 set was more than enough to fill the entire area in hi-fi. I would have paid triple the price if I were to hear these in a retail store.I did not expect the quality for the price I paid.you cant go wrong with this company. - JD

It was the best system in the world said randy - Ted

I ordered three sets of AP 650. The sound is great, bass response is superb for a 6.5 inch speaker. The installation is simple and I could not be happier with the price. Outstanding product. I sent a couple a questions via email before ordering and the response time was a couple of days. - Joe

I must say when I called and spoke to your customer service associate he was so informative and was able to guide me to the choice of speaker that would best fit our needs. Well after the simple installation of our new OM200 the sound was remarkable at all volumes. My friends were amazed as well the sound seems as it is coming out from the sky not an annoying directional sound but a surround sound feel. Thanks again for all your help and to a great sounding speaker. - Jimmy

Everything from their prices and selection, to their knowledge and customer service, will keep me a customer for life. I had ordered a pair of outdoor patio speakers which were back ordered at the time. An email was immediately sent to me offering a better, more expensive speaker to be shipped that day at no additional cost. Outdoor Speaker Depot cares about their customers, and their service, a quality which is very rare amongst internet companies today. Place an order with them and you will be satisfied every time. - Justin

Excellent value speakers. Sound great, look great an easy purchase. Would make purchase again. Have not had to deal with customer service. - Richard

I can't say enough about these speakers, they installed in about 20 minutes, and sound totally amazing! My neighbors are jealous of the great sound i got for the money. A friend has Bose outdoor speakers and my AP650's sound just as good if not better.[...] - BJ

Don't be hesitant about ordering from Outdoor Speaker Depot. My pair of AP650 speakers arrived and a friend installed these in 5 minutes. (replacing an old set of patio speakers. I considered these better than Bose at half the price. The speakers are hooked to a Rowe jukebox and all I can say is they rock! I listen to all types of music and they exceed all my expectations. My friend sells jukeboxes and he is going to buy two sets of these speakers to replace his after hearing these speakers. Great customer service and prompt responses from them! - Wayne in Delaware

After reviwing Klipsh speakers at [...] and ready to purchase them, I read reviews about your speakers. I hooked them up on my large patio and they are awesome. Great purchase for better speakers at 1/2 the price. - Romo1109

I have been shopping for a pair of speakers for a month and saw this web site on the internet and all I can say is WOW!!! The quick response via email and the solid advise from Cust-Ser was incredible. I ordered these yesterday and received them today. Haven't installed them yet but am sure they are great. - Rick

I recently ordered and received a pair of your AP650HD speakers; I installed them this past weekend and they sound GREAT! Will recommend you to friends. - Jim

WOW THESE SOUND AWESOME THEY ARE VERY WELL MADE - Dewayne Wilson

I was unsure about these speakers due to the stereo configuration . i purchsed 4 of these for my pool deck and used a adcom gfa5500 power amp to run them . we are blown away by the quality of these speakers . they like the power , imaging is as good as it gets , and they do have bass . a subwoofer under my deck makes this system one of the best outdoor set-ups i have ever heard . Highly recommended ! we be jamm'n and we be swimm'n! HP - horoffitt

I was looking for a set of outdoor speakers and chose OSD on a recommendation from two of my co-workers who have purchased speakers in the past. I ordered a pair of AP650 high definition patio speakers.OSD shipped them out on the same day. I am very happy the quality of workmanship and sound OSD audio speakers offer.I would recommend OSD to anyone looking for quality outdoor speakers. - Anonymous

Just got them today and wow. They are a very well made speaker for the money. They sound fantastic! I dont know how they can only cost 150 bucks. We will see how they hold up to what MN can dish out for weather. - Mark in Minnesota

I am extremely pleased with these speakers! I was really doubtful before I ordered them but I thought Id give em a shot since all of the reviews were so good. I have a pretty big patio/pool/deck area and these fill it up easily and sound Great too. I listened to ALL the name brand outdoor speakers in the stores and these easily sound better and area better price. They don't have huge bass for rap songs but the bass is PERFECT for most types of music, and I would be selfish if I complained about the bass. I definitely recommend these speakers and will probably buy another set in the future. You cant beat the quality and the price, not to mention the person I talked to on the phone was extremely helpful. - Nick from Bethalto, IL

Will purchase these again.Very happy with them. The people in sales were excellent. Was short a item and they shipped it out that day. - Arnie

This was a great transaction, and I am really pleased with the quality of the speakers for the money, so I gave 5s on the overall & price. In particular, I was really impressed by the rich sound and heavy-duty brackets. - Scott

I recived my speakers yesterday & installed them today they work & sound GREAT! - Dwain

Terrific, rich sound quality. Much better than equivalently priced products available at the big box stores. - CB

Superb sound, great looks and outstanding price. I thought the reviews were fakes, but now I am believer. Highly recommend them. I will but all of my outdoor speakers from OSD. - Jeff

Purchased in July 2010. So far I am very satisfied. The sound quality is as as good as you should expect, and I'm pretty picky with my audio. Great highs and mids with adequate bass. I see no reason to pay more for Polk, Boston, etc. As long as they hold up for a reasonable period, I will buy again for sure. They seem well built and should last for some time. For the price, I can go through 3 pairs of these for the price of comparable box store speakers. They even come to your front door. Great value. Go for it. - Mark

Great product. Provides great sound throughout my back yard and doesn't take up a lot of space or become an eye sore. Perfect for any covered porch. - The Machine

Theses speakers really impress. I have them mounted on 4x4's in my gardens around the patio close to the ground. They are 32ft apart from each other and the sound is incredible with plenty of power to spare from my 100 watt Onkyo receiver. Thanks for a great product at a great price! - Todd IL

WOW, WOW, WOW. I NEVER THOUHT THAT THE AP650 HD SPEAKERS WOULD SOUND SO GREAT. FOR THE PRICE THEY ARE THE BEST. WILL BUY ANOTHER PAIR REAL SOON. I JUST INSTALLED THEM TODAY. VERY HIGHLY RECOMEND THEM. - EMILIO

the speakers are great,more then i expected. the price fantastic;; & good personal information. i recommend very highly - Vincent

Have these outside on a patio and they sound great. - Rich

I originally ordered 2-pair of AP650 HD Patio Speakers and I've waited a month to write this review because I wanted to test them out for a while to get the full affect. Our music choices go from hard rock to country to orchestral. additional cost. The new speakers are super! I hung two sets and they blend in wonderfully on my patio/pool deck. The sound output is fabulous. I was skeptical regarding the sound quality because I had been using Kenwood MV-7s for so many years...but I'm sold and will be getting another set for my boat. They don't have as deep a bass effect, but the sounds are crystal clear and the deck rocks! Well worth the price!!! Thanks for a great product, customer support & price!!! - Vic

Easy transaction,fast shipment,quality product,what more could you want? The 650's sound great. I am very pleased so far. - dennis ohio

These speakers sound awesome. - Bob

I put these speakers outside for my patio. I went to [...] and listened to all their outdoor speakers and the only one's I liked where the Klipsch due to the fullness of the sound (deeper base) I emailed these guys and got a reply and a suggestion and made the purchase. Easy to install. Initially I wasn't too thrilled until I adjusted my equalizer settings because they where flat. Now these speakers have super sound, full base. I love theme - cathousebrewer

Found what I was looking for! I wanted good quality weather proof speakers for my 77 International Scout II. When you have the top down and rollin' down the highway or drive on the beach here in NC you want speakers that deliver good quality sound at a high volume. They compliment my 880 watt bazooka sub, easy to install and they look great! - Superscout II

Flawless transaction... outdoor patio speakers as described... I recommend this merchant. - Dale

I have had these over a year now and remain very impressed overall with this product. I have Ascend Accoustic SE340s in my living room, so I know something a little about decent sound quality. For the money, these speakers are an absolute bargain. Highly recommended. I think these sounded better than the $400 Klipsch at BB. - Mark

I got these speakers over Bose because they sounded way better than Bose 251 speakers and cost only one third of the price. - Stanley

Absolutely no problems with ordering and shipping. E-mailing tech support although leaves a little to be desired. The girl I talked to before I placed my order was great though, the AW650 speakers she highly recommended are fantastic. Will do business with again in the future. Highly recommended!!! - C. Thievin

These are very nice speakers. They replaced my old pair Bose 151 speakers, the Bose speaker is good but produce so so sound. You can really hear the difference. They are easy to mount and install. The mounting brackets and speakers themselves are both of high quality. It has 120 Watt power and much cheaper than my old 60 Watt Bose speakers. I consider it very good value and got my money's worth. - Randy

I ordered a Dual Voice Single PA-AW500 speaker at a very good price. The sales conformation email was received along with shipping and tracking information. Everything arrived in good shape and the speaker was installed in a few minutes. It sounds great, and along with the two AP650 HD paito speakers, I have the neighbors wanting to know if I have an expensice Bose system!! - Joseph

I have one pair of AP650 and it sounds loud and very clear. Absolutely better than Infinity, JBL, BOSE and some other expensive brands. - Anonymous

Sounds great in the open.very pleased with the quality of sound - delano A.

I installed a pair of the AP650s and a pair of RS810s around my South Carolina pool this summer. I could not be more pleased with both of their sound quality, performance, look, cost, etc. These all-weather speakers blanket my patio with great sound. The 6.5" speaker provides a near perfect blend of sound for a wide variety of music and they can really crank up the sound. I highly recommend these speakers. - Scott F.

Excellent company to work with my AP 650 speaker arrived early and installed in minutes. I have them on the back patio and the neighbors are sure that I spent a fortune for the outstanding sound quality.I will be purchasing another pair as a gift for friends and family. - Tod

Easy to use and install,and good value for the money - Vilcea

These are excellent speakers with deep bass and crisp highs. They are well worth the money. I compared the to Bose 251 and they sound just as good for much less. Thank You Outdoor Speaker Depot - David in Georgia

After Installing The High Performance OSD 6 inch Patio Speakers, I was bit dubious about these replacing my Infinity speakers of which one was blown due to inadvertantly overdriving them. WOW! My new OSD's sound fantistic. Full Spectrum sound with more bass than the Infinity. I'm impressed with the Great Sound of these OSD's, especially in the outdoors environment. This is one of those great deals that I didn't know I was going to benefit, from this purchase. I'll be back, Mr. ED - Ed

I originally ordered 2-pair of AP640 patio speakers. The company contacted me (the same day) telling me they were on backorder and would upgrade my order to 2-pair of AP650 speakers at no additional cost. I gave them the OK to upgrade me. The new speakers are super! They blend in wonderfully on my patio deck. The sound output is fabulous. Our music choices go from Metallic to Kenny Chesney to James Taylor. I have had numerous types of speakers in my lifetime to include Boston Acustics, Bose, Infinity and Klipsch. These speakers are better than most of the companies at the same price level! Well worth the $$$!!!! - Tony

I had to replace a set of Niles and had almost spent more than twice as much for a pair of Polks or Niles when I came across this company. I was a little skeptical at first about buying speakers for such a low cost from an unknown (to me) company, but I am delighted I bought the AP650s. They sound great! Certainly as good as, if not better, than the Niles or Polks I was considering. Thanks for a great product. - Robert in Tallahassee

Great sound. Great price. Great speakers. I installed them on my patio. Love them. - TED

I bought these speakers to replace a pair of Yamaha that cost almost double. I had thought that that Yamaha speakers Sounded good, untill I switched them with these. Now I know what great speakers sound like. Great speakers at any price. - Keith

Ordering was easy, everything arrived as stated. (I like that you notify of shipment and tracing info if needed) Installation was so simple a child could do it. AP650ís sound phenomenal. I was concerned about having enough bass do to the large space (deck is 38íL x 20í D) and my fear was unfounded. The bass and treble are superb, after installing and testing these speakers out, I have no regrets. Thank you for the excellent service and product. I will purchase more of the same in the future and everyone that has listened has been floored by the sound these speakers put out. - Ken H of PA

We installed these under the eave of our house near our new pool. The power and sound quality is excellent. - Swimming with tunes

These are the BEST. I installed the AP650 around my pool and the sound is very clear. It has more bass than I expected. This is a great value for the price. I cranked the volume up and the sound was never distorted. Very satisfied. - Rodney NC

The AP650 HD Cinema Patio Speakers are exactly what I needed for the porch and what I expected based on comments left by other buyers and OSD. Rich tone and clear mid and highs. I cant help but crank it up when Im out there. Dont think my neighbors are gonna like me anymore. But, its all about the music.... - Stan

We put 4 of these in our restarant. We are blown away by the deep bass and clear sound. Great value, perfect. - William

Very happy with my speakers,excellant sound hope they hold up well to the weather. - Blane

My son set up the back yard with full sound. It's wonderful. My husband said he couldn't have picked a better system if he did it himself. We are both very pleased with our system. - Bev

The entire process was very easy. The order and shipping information was sent immediately and the speakers arrived on time. They were easy to install and most important, they sound GREAT!! - Mike

I just received my AP650 speakers and could not be more happy. The speakers installed easily and sounded outstanding. I have a very large deck. I was told at the retail stores that the speakers they had would not cover the entire deck area. But the AP650 easily did with excellent quality sound. And for added measure, they were less than half the price that the local retail shop offered on inferior speakers. I have already recommended these speakers to several friends. - Rick

I ordered AP650s as well as BIC VK-6I0 ($180) and Polk Atrium 60s ($250) from other vendors to compare before making my decision. These are comparable models all with 6.5" woofers. The BICs were just complete garbage. They sounded awful (little bass or treble), which surprised my because I owned a complete BIC set of home theater speakers for years and was very happy with them. The AP650s came in next. These speakers sound very good at low to moderate levels. They had detailed treble as well as a surprisingly good amount of bass. The only issue I had with them is that the treble tended to break up at high levels. The Polks seemed to have a sturdier cabinet and weight quite a bit more than the other two. The sound quality (while sounding different) was on par with the AP650s at low and moderate levels. The Polks were able to handle higher levels of playing without breaking up though. Overall, I think the AP650s are a very good deal for the price. The Polks are better at loud levels, but they also cost a lot more. - Kevin

These speakers are awesome!!!!!!!!!!the sound is smashing baby..... - Cody

Great sound quality at an even better price. - Jay

I didn't know what to expect with these AP650's? Boy for the money these speakers ROCK. I installed them on my deck area and the sound is killer! i donít know if you could even think of building a better speaker for the same price....i donít think you could do it. and the shipping was fast coming from Ca. to Va. I would recommend anyone looking for a outdoor speaker to get you a pair of these! you won't be disappointed... - Geno VA.

06/17/2009 I'm very impressed with the sound quality of the AP650 speakers I would highly recommend these speakers.In the past I was sold on Polk audio.Since this purchase I'm definitely a new pleased consumer! A+++ - Doug

Just recieved my new ap-650 high def speakers yesterday and hooked them up today just to see how they sound before mounting them up and I must say I'm very happy with the way they sound. Plenty of bass too! I hope they stand up being outside but with the warrenty I'm not to worried.As for the help, They are very nice and knew what they were talking about.Pull the trigger,you will be glad you did! Steve - Anonymous

Definitely worth the money and the best Ive found anywhere. Buy, Buy, Buy! - Michelle

Just moved into our new home and had the first chance to hook these up on the patio by our new pool. The first impression is easy installation and solid hardware. The second impression is the impressive bass and highs. For the price I don't think you can do any better. Will buy another set as a gift for a buddy building down the street! - MSR

I was all set to buy a set of Klipsch speakers when I came across these at half the price. The reviews were great so I thought I would give them a try and I'm glad I did. They sound great and deliver well with deeper base, which is where I found most other speakers to fall short. The purchasing experience was easy and delivery was fast considering I'm on the otherside of the country. I would not hesitate to purchase these speakers. - Tom

Love these speakers. Hooked them up in our large patio area. They sound great, the bass reproduction exceed other speakers. The mids and highes are very clear. The bass is very rich. The construction and finish are good. I'm an engineer myself. I'm very picky about product quality. I'm very pleased with this purchase and would buy them again. - Gary

Good value fir money. Speakers sound great. - boss hog

this was so easy and fabulous prices... talked with customer service, ordered their recommendations and was seamless, will definately use them again. - Elizabeth

I ordered these on the first of march and i recieved them the next day!They are incredible speakers,my father in law has bose 251 speakers and these kick butt!highly recommended speakers and a top notch site with great customer service! - steve

I ordered these speakers on comments only and I can say I am very pleased with my purchase. These speakers rock...!!! Placed under my patio in the corners with very little trouble and I was really suprised at the bass from such small speakers. I have my home theater system set up so I can play these speakers through my Sonos. I sit on my patio and control all from my Iphone. Only thing missing is a cold beer! - bluesdan48

I use these speakers on on my 32' x 32' dock at the lake. They are covered, but in a damp outdoor environment. They sound fantastic and fill a very large area. Great addition to my sound system. - Atlanta Jack

Excellent service,very happy with the performance of speakers.Made my daughters graduation party fantastic. - Laurie

I use these speakers in my back yard attached to the side of my house. I love these speakers because they were very easy to install. The mounting brackets make it very easy to mount them a variety of ways. You can mount them vertical or horizontal. Overall, these speakers are the best. Thank you Fred Kampf. - freddie

We have these speakers outside mounted at a relatively low position, but the sound carries well throughout our 75 ft. deep yard. Listened to other outdooor speakers at BB and the only thing that was close in sound quality was Klipsch at twice the price. Would have bought the 8" version if I had the space. - Charlie

Since I am always unsure of product quality when I order online or by just reading reviews, I was skeptical to say the least. So when I installed these speakers underneath an overhang above my deck (very easy), I was basically shocked by the sound quality. The high end is extremely clear, while the bass is just enough to provide a great sound. Whether at high or low volume, you will be very pleased especially with the price being half of what you would pay for similar quality at one of the big box stores. I spent quite a bit of time listening to a variety of speakers, and although the similar sized Klipsch speakers were probably slightly better, it was hard to tell the difference. Only issue was they state on the instructions the speakers are not waterproof, but I think as long as they are not exposed to constant rain they will be fine. Great buy for the money! - outdoor junky

I had been looking for a pair of outdoor speakers for about three months earlier this year and after a lot of research and consideration, Ihad decided that I would like to purchase the AP640. In sharing my research with my family, my wife quickly realized that these would make a perfect father's day present so we could all enjoy the music as a family on our deck. So late Friday afternoon a week before father's day I placed my order for the AP640...and that is when I realized that the were out of stock...I spoke with my wife and we agreed that because of this it would be a late father's day gift. With that said, first thing Monday morning I received a call from Outdoor Speaker Depot to let me know that they are still out of stock and to ask if I wanted to wait the two extra weeks, or if they could help me make another selection. With their help (I believe it was "Ken") Monday morning I settled on the AP650 and the speakers arrived two days later on Wednesday...I installed them on Saturday and we shared a family Father's Day Sunday Brunch with our music. The speakers installed very easily and the sound is AWESOME! I've paid a lot of money for speakers over the years and these rank right up there with the best! And although I'm not the type to typically write about my consumer experience, I was so please with Outdoor Speaker Depot that I would highly recommend them to friends and family, specifically for the customer service, for their quick response, their quick shipping, and the quality of the product they provide! Thank you OSD! - Kirk from Santa Cruz, CA

I couldn't believe the sound of the crisp highs and deep bass. Im very critical since I have top of the line home equipment. I hooked these speakers up to my Yamaha RSV 3000 tuner. My pool area sounds like an outdoor concert but 100 times better. Don't waist your money on bose, infinity, polk even klipsch which I love. Awesome great speakers. Will buy more for my gazebo area next. Incredible sound!!! - mike

Great speakers. Have the Klipsch AW-400 but these are way better. A friend of mine has Bose but he seems to like the OSD better. Great product and 5 year warranty for peace of mind. - George

After putting in a pool, I bought a pair of Boston Acustic Voyager 7's two yrs ago from a large electronic's store. Now I wanted more speakers outside (sore subject with my wife).So I bought a pair of AP650's from OSD, they sound as good if not better than the BA V7. I just wish I had more room to hang more speakers, I would not hesitate to purchase another pair. - Jeff

Great sounding speakers, very pleased with the quality of sound. - Tim

I did a side-by-side comparison of the AP650 against Bose 151 (not the newer SE version, the original). As expected the AP650 had much better bass response. While I wanted the Bose to win, Im keeping the A650 because they just performed better for 60% less money than the Bose. Lets hope that they can handle the New England weather as good as Bose can. If so, then these are a great deal. - Mike

I have these speakers installed on my back patio and the AP650s on the front. They both sound pretty good. The AP840s obviously produce more bass and are a bit larger than the AP650s. Both are quick and easy to install. And it takes only about a minute to take them down (if you connect them using banana clips). Believe me, they sound so good you will be concerned about thieves trying to steal them. My backyard is approximately 1 acre and the AP840s have no problem delivering beautiful sound to every bit of it without turning the volume up full blast. Besides Im afraid the neighbors wouldnt be happy if i did. I have bought every speaker inside my home from OSD and i am just as pleased with the ones for the outside. - ray

Hooked up the speakers with ease & awesome sound! Very impressed with quickness of delivery. Will order 2nd set soon. - Lisa

I purchased two sets of the AP650 High Definition Patio Speakers and had them professionally installed. The speakers sound great and I am very pleased with the quality. - Art Sanchez: Alta Loma CA

These speakers sound fantastic, I cannot believe the clarity and all around sound that these provide. They blew away my Klipsh book shelf speakers that I paid double for. I will buy again.... - Matt

We installed six of these along our small resort towns Front Street Shopping Mall and they absolutely sound great! We are a professional audio company and do many installations like this one but usually use commercial speakers costing several hundred dollars each. Our city had a very limited budget for this installation so we used these and they have surpassed our wildest expectations. These sound better and put out more sound than many of the bug buck commercial speakers that we usually install! They are also built very well and we believe that they will last a long time even near the ocean where we have these installed. We will be back for more to complete this, and other projectsƒ - Bill

These are decent speakers but are not "audiophile" grade as some reviewers have said. Obviously, the biggest benefit is that these speakers are made for outdoor use. They will certainly serve that purpose and hopefully they will last a long time. Sound quality is average and pretty much on par with what you'd expect from a pair of $150 outdoor speakers. Maybe I'm just spoiled with my reference quality home-theater gear, but I expected a little more from these speakers based on all of the raving reviews. - AS

Very helpful support figuring out which speaker pair best fit my deck. Just installed them in the last week. GREAT SOUND. I am planning on putting a second set on our lower level patio. A great deal, in my opinion. - Jon

This is a fantastic pair of speakers. I get compliments from everyone that hears them. I installed them on my back patio in my new house and they look and sound great. They handle the power from my Onkyo home theater system and produce rich, clear sound even when I crank the volume up to listen way in the back yard while doing yard work. - Jared M.

I placed my order after doing alot of research.I now realize that i bought the best speakers at the best price!The sound is rich and super clear and now my pool area is the place to be! Awesome product!!! I will buy again! - conrad

Well to start off thank you so much OSD. I did my research on various speakers/receivers and with great happiness found you guys. I bought the AP650 patio speakers and the sherwood rx-4105 am/fm receiver and 100ft of 14 gauge wire all recomended by your great staff. And for under $300 got an outstanding sounding patio system. So many of my friends are amazed at the sound quality and the volume these speakers put out. It's hard to believe only coming from a 100w receiver. HONESTLY'' my latest best investment couldnt be happier thank you! - f.burke

What does the 70v option mean
By Customer Service - Q&A on January 16, 2012

Answer:
HI Dean,

The 70v option allows the speaker to be used with a 70 volt commercial amplifier. It has an 8-ohm setting for connecting to a standard two-channel amplifier. We do offer this speaker as an 8 ohm version as well (same price) without the 70v transformer. Check out the images on the page that show the selector switch on the back. You can see that there are six settings: 8 ohm, 25W, 15W, 10W, 5w and 2.5W. The five 70v settings have to do with how many speakers can be connected based upon how many Watts the system is rated. If you use a 60-Watt 70 volt system and set the speakers to 5 Watts, then you can connect 12 individual 70v speakers in mono. These 70v systems are typically used in business offices, restaurants, and bars for background music.

are the outdoor speakers water proof? i am wanting to mount them on the side of my house but i don't want to if they are not water proof
By Customer Service - Q&A on November 10, 2011

Answer:
All of our patio speakers are weatherproof - that means it can withstand the weather, but it is always a good idea to have some kind of cover above the speakers.

Waterpoof means the speaker can submerge under the water. I don't think any outdoor speakers in the market can do that.

can these be mounted horizontally as well as vertically?
By Customer Service - Q&A on December 2, 2011

Answer:
Hi:

No problem mounting these horizontially. It states the mounting bracket will swivel 180 degrees giving you maximum flexibility as well.
