Features and Specifications:

Sold in pairs, the RX640 is a very popular landscape rock speaker for backyards, pools and gardens. Part of the fun is disguising the speakers so choose a color that best matches your landscape and place the speakers where a natural rock would be found. Typical locations for the rock speakers include rock formations for barriers around pools, ponds and spas or bordering a garden and even as an accent in flower gardens.

You'll Enjoy Great Sound
Customers are always pleasantly surprised by the sound quality of our RX640s. The 6.5" polypropylene woofer and 1" dome tweeter are acoustically matched to give you clear vibrant sound with good bass characteristics. If you're worried about how long they will last, rest assured that this two-way (woofer and tweeter) rock speaker system utilizes weather-resistant components for years of trouble-free performance.

Will these speakers hold up during winter months?
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. It's important that outdoor speakers are an investment, so take good care of them. Storing them away during extreme winter months will lengthen the time you will get enjoying outdoor speakers. These rock speakers utilize weather-resistant components for years of trouble free performance.

Can I connect my rock speakers to an iPod or other MP3 device?
This is a common question and the answer is yes. Keep in mind, however, that these speakers are passive devices, meaning they do not have a built-in amplifier. You�ll need to connect to an amplifier or a receiver to power your new rock speakers. Customers typically store an amp/receiver in a tool shed or even run the speaker wires back to a receiver in the house. From there, they simply use the AUX input or RCA adaptor cable to connect their iPod, iPhone or other player to the receiver or amp. OSD Audio carries all the cables you need, which are very inexpensive, and the speaker wire as well.

What kind of cable should I use?
If you plan on burying the the cable (and most people do), we strongly recommend using OSD direct burial cable and waterproof wire connectors. 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.

Questions and Answers:

By Jackson from Orange COunty, CA on June 25, 2012

can these speakers be input directly into an iPod or other Mp3 device or do they have to go thru an amp?

By Customer Service - Q&A on June 26, 2012

Answer:

Hi Jackson,
You need to connect to an amplifier first before connecting to the RX640 speakers. Our AMP120 allows you to connect two sources and automatically switch between them. Input number one takes priority while it is active. When you turn source one off, the second source starts to play after a brief pause. We have all the cables you need to connect to the amplifier from your iPod and the speaker wire you need to run to your rock speakers.

Already own some of your other products and have no complaints. Are these speakers able to be directly rained on? They will be outside during the summer months at the cottage, and we will not always be able to bring them in if it rains.

By Customer Service - Q&A on October 8, 2012

Answer:

Hi James,
Our speakers are designed specifically for the outdoors and can withstand rain. Any extra protection you can give them in extreme weather is always recommended. We suggest covering them or brining them inside during heavy storms. The extra protection will only add to the longevity of your investment.

Hi,

My husband have been talking about getting speakers that look like rocks... Mrs. Claus wants to buy them for him. Are they hard to install and do you have a ton of wire outside from your source. Any assistance would be appreciated.
I am technology challenged.

Thanks,
Mrs.Claus

By Customer Service - Q&A on November 7, 2011

Answer:

You�ve chosen a great gift for your husband, Mrs Claus! Most of our customers install their rocks themselves so it�s not particularly difficult. The challenge is connecting the speakers to the source. The speakers you are looking at come in stereo pairs and both need to be wired back to the source. Since your husband has expressed interest in rock speakers, he probably already understands what�s involved. We offer the special CL3 speaker cables you will need to run outside (direct burial cables). OSD has the largest selection of outdoor rock speakers available in multiple colors and sizes (6.5" & 8" speaker). We do have a couple wireless options as well. Here�s a great article on choosing the right speaker.

Perfect for outdoor music

March 22, 2013

I purchased these to add to my existing house sound system. They sound great with adequate bass. I have them approximately 20ft apart in my spa/pool area. I painted them to roughly match the surrounding natural rocks and they fit in with the landscape nicely. Purchased the OSD outdoor volume control to go with the rock speakers and the set up works great.

Pros:

Outdoor sound with plenty of bass. Easily painted to match landscape. Solid construction and weatherproofing.

Cons:

Suggestion: Package with silicone filled waterproof wire connectors.

Best Uses:

Quality outdoor sound/music.

January 28, 2013

Just purcahsed my 3rd set of speakers for my backyard. During superstorm Sandy, a chair from our patio set went flying through one of the speakers- and it STILL WORKS!! I am replacing it, but was amazed it is still working. I have received many compliments on the sound quality in our backyard from friends and neighbors. Great product at a great cost.

Rock Solid

November 22, 2012

Speakers delivered in 2 days. They were bigger than I thought so good thing I didn't get the 670s. They sound fantastic in our 25X25 front courtyard! We barely have to turn them up and we hear them fine. We're running high end Yamaha wall mounted speakers in the back porch and there is no difference in sound. VERY happy with the OSDs! Will be getting more for the back yard when we finish the landscaping. Only 2 slight personal preference issues kept me from giving it 5 stars: 1) we ran 12 gauge wire from the receiver to the speakers since they're about 80 feet away while we were waiting for them. When they arrived, the wires on the speakers are more like 16 or 18 gauge so it was a little bit of a waste to spend the money for 12 gauge only to have much smaller wires at the speaker for the last 18 inches, but they still sound fantastic! 2) We chose the granite color. When they came, they were more like grey/black/white dots, not an issue with the speakers, but not not really blending in that well with our other rocks, so we took a sponge with some darker grey paint and lightly dabbed it all over the speaker to break up the "peppered" look. Now it blends in more like an uneven toned natural rock.

Outdoor Speakers

August 28, 2012

I purchased these outdoor speakers as a birthday gift to my husband. I had purchased a pair for him quite a few years ago from OSD and we were extremely happy with them. After many years in the Arizona sun, they eventually needed to be replaced. We put these speakers behind our pool so we can listen to music while we are swimming. I have to say I was amazed at the service OSD gave. I went online on Sunday to order them and was immediately sent an email that they had been shipped and would arrive on Tuesday! 2 days! Really? I have never ordered something and had it delivered in that short amount of time. Lo and behold, they were at my door on Tuesday afternoon. Not only that, I received an email confirmation that they had been delivered. Needless to say, I am not only VERY satisfied with these great sounding, well made speakers, but I am astonished at the awesome customer service I received. I will definitely continue ordering from this company. Service like this doesn't happen very often. When it does, you want to be sure and utilize them at every opportunity!

Pros:

Attractive Design, Great Sound Quality, Good Power Output, Easy To Set Up

rx640 outdoor speakers

August 23, 2012

These speakers perform well. Good sound quality for the cost. They fill the small patio area with quality sound. I can get good bass out of these enclosures with the bass boast feature on my receiver. I'm using a 100 watt per channel receiver. I'm happy with this purchase! I have a 10grand home theater system in my home and satisfied with these speakers on my patio. Outdoor space is difficult to fill with good quality sound and these speakers do a good job when properly driven.

Easy To Set Up, Great Sound Quality, Good Power Output

We bought these to add to help with our sound "issue". We live hear a freeway and even though we have a great pool outside, the nose from the freeway would inhibit our happiness.. enter the rock speakers! We now put on all kinds of music from nature sounds with an ocean background to surf music and it masks the sound and gives us hours of pleasure. Thank you!!!!

August 3, 2011

The sound quality is great! The value for the money is great! We will be ordering more to really complete our large backyard for all our parties. They were great around the pool, even with 100 people and 30 wet kids running around. It's also really nice having them wired to the amp instead of having to charge them. We never ran out of music, even for the 10 hours they were running. We will be back for more!
