🔊 OSD Audio AP850 8” Surface Mount Indoor/Outdoor Patio Speaker Pair - Black - Enhanced Stereo Performance Review

Bought these speakers to enhance my outdoor space. I've spent a lot of time and read a lot of reviews on various outdoor speakers and they consistently come out on top in terms of sound quality and construction. Well the sound quality is good, that's the only thing that makes me happy. The back panel on the speakers fits very poorly and the doors keep/falling off. They also don't keep the wires dry very well, and some corrosion forms on the wires as a result. I removed them for winter so they…

Installed speakers 2 years ago in spring in my gazebo. Good full bass for a floorstanding speaker. However, the following spring, one of the speakers began to flutter at the low end frequency. The support team was polite and offered a few suggestions, but my warranty had expired so there was nothing they could do. I disassembled the speaker and noticed several holes around the cone. It could be heard that something was dangling. I had to make a small hole to get it out. There's a stink bug in…

These 5.25" OSD Black Audio Patio Speakers look great, there's no denying that. The boxes are very solid, stylish and together with the curved brackets they certainly look the part, looks can be deceiving I haven't disassembled them yet, but the mids are already acceptable, the highs can be throttled, but the bass, bass Going Lost I wasn't expecting these speakers to deliver muffled bass, nothing to match my internal speakers, but I was hoping they would be enough to fill my small 6ft by 12ft…

Updated 6/2021 - I still love these speakers. This is the fifth season and they're outside all the time. get strong ----------------------------- One of my best buys on Revain. I installed these speakers under the eaves of my pool. house, and they don't get direct rain or snow, but my eaves aren't deep, so the front of the speaker is a bit open. They have been standing for 3 years and have not been removed over the winter. Last year I took off the screen covers to paint them white because some…

Perhaps my only oddity is that I can't use my Sewell Direct SW-29863-12 deadbolt banana plugs. The end caps on the speakers have a solid bottom that prevents the banana plugs from landing. That makes it so I have to use cable screws. I prefer to use banana plugs instead of cable glands. I was pleasantly surprised by the sound. I hooked it up to an old Kenwood receiver and wow! Much better sound than I expected. The speakers are also larger than I thought (yes, I know the dimensions were listed,

I bought these speakers about 9 months ago and one of them broke and the other got pretty fuzzy. They have a one year guarantee. I contacted the company and they said I need to return the speakers, they will test them and if faulty they will send a replacement. Well, that's exactly what happened. They received the speaker on Monday and the following Monday I had new speakers in the mail. It took me about five days to receive it. I was excited. These are really great speakers and they're on my…

This is a very good price for outdoor speakers which I think is a good price. There are many very cheap and very expensive outdoor speakers on the market, I think they are in the middle and offer quality for the money. The woofers are sealed and unported, so they have less bass out of the box than some other designs, but with a little EQ (bass boost) they can sound significantly better than their ported counterparts. The top end is clean but not harsh thanks to the soft dome tweeter. I…

5-8-2021, Revision A: Good speakers for the price and for my application. I used mine on my Elecraft K3 Ham Radio. I turned off the tweeter. By removing the grille cover and inserting a cut out gift card wrapped with tape to hide the modification and hold the card in place (HF radios should cover 100Hz to 13kHz, turning off the tweeter ensured that unwanted noise and distortion were above 12-15kHz (guess where the mid/high crossover is located helps filter out. SSB requires 200-3500kHz max and…
