OSD RX8058" 200W Outdoor Weather-Resistant High Performance Rock Speaker Pair, Brown or Granite Grey
The RX805 Outdoor Rock Speaker is a team favorite at OSD for its natural look and excellent sound. This speaker has an 8-inch polypropylene woofer and 1-inch dome tweeter that provide excellent high and low notes. The RX805 will have no problem filling large backyards, pools or patios and is very natural looking. Place these speakers anywhere a natural rock would be found and you'll hardly notice them (until you turn these speakers on). 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.
Do I need special cable to run outdoor speakers?
We strongly recommend our direct burial, CL3/FT4 waterproof cable and wire connectors that are designed for the outdoors. Our speaker wire uses a specially formulated UV-resistant, white polyethylene jacket that provides protection against water damage and allows the cables to withstand extreme weather conditions like rain, snow and high temperatures and incorporate twice the insulation of average cable. If you plan to bury the cable, OSD recommends you bury it 4-6" underground so that it's not visible nor pose a danger of somebody tripping over it. Our speaker cable is ideal to use in direct burial applications. As for the gauge, for runs up to 100 feet for background music, 16-gauge will be fine. If the run is approaching or exceeding 100 feet, we suggest 14-gauge wire.
Add Volume Controls
Volume controls can be a great addition to a system providing both proper impedance matching and more hands-on local control of the volume in the listening area. We offer a great selection of outdoor volume controls to choose from!
Extremely Durable
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.

Is there a break-in period for these (RX805)? I replaced another brand rock speaker with these and they sound horrible. I have them attached to a Control4 amp that is 120 watts at 8 ohm, so there shouldn't be a power issue.
The previous speakers could go to 60 or 70 on the volume before I started to hear distortion. These RX805 start sounded distorted when I'm at 30 on the volume.

Hi Dave:
All speakers have a break-in period but based upon what you described, and I am not sure that will make that much of a difference. There is a thirty-day performance guarantee if you want to return them; we have a step speaker from the RX805 called the RS850 at more than double the price (sold as singles). TimL/4-29

I have a composite patio deck outdoors, and ran the wires for this speaker set underneath the deck without burning the cords and wires in the ground (so it’s sitting on top of dirt and rocks under the deck). Is this setup okay, or is it recommended to bury all the cords and cables? The cord is pretty well protected from sun and rain by the patio, but didn’t know if it would cause any electrical shocks or generate static. Thank you!

Hi Evan:
You should be fine, you have the option to bury the cables if you want to hide them. You chose to hide them under the deck, no problem.

I have a Yamaha AVENTAGE RX-A760 receiver and wanted to know how these OSD RX805 will work with my receiver.
Customer Service • 01/10/2024, 5:29:58 PM
HI Rick:
The RX850 can be connected to the assignable SP2/Zone channel 6 and 7. The Aventage is limited to 6-ohm output for the Surround channels so you can only connect a single pair. If you using the AVR for a stereo Receiver you can drive a single pair off of the Front L&R and also a second pair off the SP2 Zone 2 as well. You can chose Zone 2 to play the same as the Main output or a different source selected for Zone 2.
