I wanted music on my screened in porch, but already have the DVD player in the house which was not multi-room, and didn't really feel like upgrading that. So I searched and searched for something for outdoor. I would have purchased this at twice the price.
Plug it in, wire the speakers to the provided leads, plug in the iPod and done. I am pushing two in-ceiling speakers in a 15 X 15 screened porch, and it more than sufficient. Even includes the cord to plug in the iPod.
Bought a basket for $9 to put it in so all the cords don't show.... outdoor stereo for cheap! - gbelleville
Sounds surprisingly decent for the price. Very simple to set up and even comes with all of the input and output cables. Overall, I have been very pleased. The only downside is the FM reception with the little antenna is pretty weak. - Michael
I recently ordered the small MA2 exterior amp and a pair of 6 inch speakers for under my screen porch. The amp and speakers sounded great, so I went back to OSD for 2 of the planter speakers for my pool deck also sound great. I was real impressed how fast shiping was, 5 days on both orders and I'm on the east cost. - Anonymous
i was looking for outdoor speakers and everything I found was way to expensive and doing some internet searching I found this company.
And the had exactly what I needed and at a great price. Got the whole setup for the price of a single speaker here locally.
The sound is amazing and works well with an MP3 Player, Ipod and Iphone hooked to it. And the FM reception is great. - Gary
I bought this to use on the patio, but didn't really know what to expect. I was quite pleased to have both radio and Ipod capabilities, and with great sound too. - Rickover
Got a free pair of outdoor speakers when I bought my home theater system and just needed a simple amp to use them with my iPod. This fit the bill. I was confused at first looking at the pictures how the speakers hook up but it comes with a short RCA to normal speaker wire....wire. - Mr. BBQ
This was what my deck needed, it is small and easy to use - Locutis
I spent quite awhile looking for an outdoor system for my gazebo. I'm picky about electronics so, I looked hard and long at setting up a marine stereo based system. I ultimately came back to this unit for its simplicity and low cost. At first, the case seemed too light weight and the interface too basic to me. I hooked it up to rock speakers and was amazed at the strong sub-like bass and general output volume. I then tried an inexpensive pair of indoor/outdoor 3-ways in the gazebo and they sounded even better due to the high frequency capabilities of the tweeters. All-in-all, its a nice simple outdoor solution that easily fills the gazebo and moderate sized backyard with sound. Reception with the supplied string FM antenna is marginal, but adequate. Unfortunately, it does not have any balance or fader capabilities. But, that's OK for my application. Actually has 2 sets of 2-channel RCA outputs and is able to easily drive both my small 3-ways and rock speakers at the same time. Great simple little unit for the money. Would definately recommend it to a friend! However, I would have purchased an upgraded (balance/fader/tone/waterproof AC/DC converter, etc.) model if they made one. Hint...Hint! - Keith
If you're looking for an outdoor only receiver, this is a great deal. We set it up outside our hot tub and purchased the AP390 Outdoor 3" Patio Speakers upon recommendation from OSD. The receiver produces enough power for background listening and lower volumes, but this receiver doesn't have a lot of power if you want to play your music loud. For us, this is perfect because we don't want to make our neighbors mad with loud music and we can hear it perfectly well in the tub. The controls are easy to use and radio reception is good. I will say that you could hook it up to slightly larger speakers than the ones we got, as I tested it on some bigger speakers I had. Being weather resistant, it works well mounted outside under an overhang which blocks direct exposure to rain. I'm not saying you couldn't get a much better system for a lot more money, but for the price, you can't go wrong. All in all, its the perfect system for us around the hot tub and for only $120, you can't beat it! - Tom
Bought this unit strictly for price.I was pleasantly surprised at the performance and highly recomend it! - Chico
Exactly what I was looking for, the final peice
to my outdoor Home Theater!! Water resistance but dont be foolish. Great Item with great features. - MJ FitnessFreak
Sound quality was better than expected, the antenna/tuner reception is to put it mildly...BAD!!! Would I recommend this to someone else, yes, good product for the price. - Anonymous
Finding an Outdoor Receiver is a challenge, especially a receiver with all of the inputs this one has. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a solution for stand alone outdoor entertainment. I had many positive comments on this receiver from friends gathering for cookouts. With the improved FM Antenna I purchased, I am much more satisfied with my purchase of this receiver. - Chris
Bought this tuner/amp for an outdoor gazebo. Power isn't sufficient for blasting out the back yard, and as the other reviewer noted the display can be a bit hard to read, but I have to say for a set-it-up and forget it outdoor amp it is great - would purchase again. Note however that the power supply is a conventional adapter and is not waterproof and you can buy an outdoor cover at HomeDepot to protect it. - Paul
AFTER I GOT THE AMP. I DID A TEST BEFORE INSTALLING IT. I WAS VERY SURPRISED HOW WELL IT SOUNDED. I INSTALLED IT IN A DECK STORAGE BOX. BOUGHT THE FROG SPEAKERS THAT SELL AND WIRED IT ALL UP. IT SOUNDS GREAT AND IT TOTALY HIDDEN. THE ONLY THING IS THAT THE FACE IS HARD TO SEEUNLESS IT IS SHADED OR DARK. WITH THE SIZE OF IT. IT CAN GO ANYWHERE. I WILL RECOMEND THIS PRODUCT TO ANYONE. - DAVID
This is a great little box for the pool or patio. Easy to setup and has good reception and easy controls. The only issue is see, is that the radio itself is weather proof but, the ac power transformer is not. I purchased a small plastic box and enclosed the transfomer. Easy solution. - Steel
