Features and Specifications: We designed RX805 Outdoor Rock Speaker pair in our backyard in Southern California. We improved the tooling to greatly reduce the production cost and pass the savings on to you! This speaker is very natural looking and has excellent sound acoustics. The landscape rock speakers are designed to simulate natural rocks within your landscape. Place these rock speakers anywhere a natural rock would be found. Typical locations for the rock speakers are rock formations for barriers around pools, ponds and spas, bordering a garden and even as an accent in flower gardens.
Installation Difficulty: Novice
Like all our rock speakers, being handy is helpful but not required. Installing these speakers can be very simple; just decide where you want them to go and run the speaker wire from the desired sound source. Most outdoor speakers are passive devices, meaning they do not have built-in amplification and will need a source of power. Most customers connect their outdoor speakers directly to household amplification, that is directly to a home receiver or outboard receiver stored safely in a tool shed or other covered space where it is protected from the elements.
How durable are these rock speakers?
OSD outdoor speakers are developed with harsh conditions of the outdoors in mind. Our rock speakers use only non-water-absorbing materials and won't absorb any water. This is critical in winter so it won't freeze and crack. The shape is designed to withstand large amounts of pressure, extreme temperatures and moisture. Remember though, outdoor speakers are an investment, so take care of them. Storing them away from extreme weather conditions will only lengthen the time you will get enjoying outdoor speakers. These rock speakers utilize weather-resistant components for years of trouble free performance.
Do I need special cable to run outdoor speakers?
We recommend using our waterproof wire and wire connectors specifically designed for the outdoors. These speaker cables that can withstand extreme weather conditions like rain, snow and high temperatures and incorporate twice the insulation and a formulated white polyethylene jacket that is U/V resistant. If you plan to bury the cable in the ground, we recommend using direct burial cable.

Questions and Answers:  By Rob from connecticut on December 23, 2011 What is the main differencee between the RX805 and RS790 8" speaker. I see there is a substantial price difference.
I plan to power the Speakers with a pioneer home receiver rated at 100watt x 2
Thank you,
Rob By Customer Service - Q&A on December 27, 2011Answer:Rob,
To start, looking at the Frequency Response for each speaker, the Rs790 is gonna give you more bass. The magnet on the Rs790 is bigger as well as the speaker being made up of higher quality materials- giving it better sound quality. The last thing I notice is different is the Rs790 have a two year warranty and the Rx805 has a one year warranty.

I bought these for my outdoor patio. I did have wall mounted speakers on each side of the patio but one blew and it was time to research new outdoor speakers. I wanted more bass but didn't have a huge budget. I also wanted ground mounted because I dont want anymore wires hanging down the side of the house. These go well with my landscaping, they actually serve the purpose of decorating as well as functional speakers. It's in the middle of winter so I have not used them heavily, but I did test them out for a while one day. Very nice sound...highs, mids, lows. The only thing is that you have to aim them where you'll usually be listening. I have them pointed out to by backyard because thats where we play outdoor games. But when you come up to the house to go inside, it sounds kind of muffled or 'bassy' without the clear highs. It's mostly just due to the fact that I have a grill between me and 1 speaker and a patio table between me and the other speaker, so it blocks the highs/mids and echos the bass. I will have to aim them differently when summer comes around to see what sounds best. Other than that (which has nothing to do with the speaker itself), I dont think these could get much better! GREAT PRICE!! - Andrew
Great sounding speakers. I have four of them on my pontoon boat. I made mounting poles that I can put them on and be able to turn them over the water when we are swimming or lounging around in the water. - Sgtpepper59
Weather warms up and get a pair of 8" rock speakers for $150. Sound quality is great. - Dale
Just installed 4 speakers. I'm happy with the sound just out of the box. As far as weather resistence and longevity, its way too early to tell. The faces of each rock enclosure looks like it is slightly cracked. Whether this is a serious issue or not I'm not sure. - John
I was a little apprehensive to buy a speaker that costs $149 a pair. I have found similar speakers that cost the same for single pc. So I was wonder as to how this speaker could cost so little, but let me tell you that this speaker produces great sound for back ground music when you are entertaining friends on the patio. I would definitely recommend this speaker and this web site. I also received my speakers fast. Placed my order in on Tuesday afternoon and received them on Friday late afternoon. - Anonymous
Just installed 4 around my pool and patio. Hook them to OSD AMP300 Amp. Great sound and bass, really happy with them. - Billy

These speaker are great! The quality and sound are amazing on my back patio. They were easy to install and they look great and can mount just about anywhere. [...] I highly recommend this company and the products. - LisaKV
Great product , support was poor. Tried to sell me more products rather than help me make my purchase work. Luckily I had friends who knew better. - Evon
Speakers mounted on deck - using indoor receiver system. Transition from indoor speakers to outdoor via two switches (left and right). Tied each sides ground lines together. Perform exactly as intended and look great. - Easy
Purchaed four of these for the backyard around the pool. We are very impressed with the sound quality and bass output. I was not expecting this good of a product. Only downside, one of the speakers may be developing a hair line crack in the silicone seal about the front of the speaker. - Mikey
speakers sound great and are plenty powerful for around my 20x40 foot pool. I have these speakers on the far side of the pool facing the house, 2, 6 inch patio speakers under the deck facing out and 2, 4 inch patio speakers mounted to the house. All are routed to a speaker selector and hooked to my sonos. I have the rock speakes set at 2x the volume of the other speakers. The result is that the entire pool area is filled with sound without needing to crank the volume. - Mike
I replaced my old rock speakers, the efficiency is at least the stated 91dB, which is plenty to have the show going on with an amp only 2x20W. The bass is full and the sound altogether would let me even use it in a listening room setup if did like rocks inside. I definitely get another pair . - ocnflite
Have them set up around my camper for my music system.Good output and sound. - Smokey
We use this product by the pool and really enjoy the music while floating and also use it for music while exercising. - Barbara the diver
