OSD Audio AP450 4-Inch 110W 3-Way Indoor/Outdoor Weather-Resistant Patio Speakers - - (Pair, Black)

Used on sailboat

awsome

What o like about them is the mids and highs I'm pushing them on the Yamaha Rx-v638 and boy do they sing. Now granted the Yamaha is overpowering them but I limit the volume to -10db on master volume. If you looking for bass up top these ain't for you I bought them for surround sound fronts and let my 250w rms subwoofer handle the bass. They sound good paired with a good sub they are temporary but I can understand why someone would be content with going to order 2 more pair if the price is the same but I got my eyes on klipsh for more depth in two channel mode when listening to music they make great surround sound speakers though just no bass to judge by so keep that in mind. Update anyone?? Ok so when they say 10 to 80 watts it's more like 10 to 40 unless you play them above 100- 120hz they don't like low frequency so that 90hz will pass if your playing on a source that does not exceed 40 watts rms. That said they sound great on hometheater system I'm relying on my sub for low frequencies which will change when I find a better center channel you don't need much to push them but if your into rnb/hiphop get a sub, they are crisp I highs and midslows are lack luster unless for movies and TV series. For context, I'm using the Yamaha rx-v638 which I know is to strong for these but music is not the purpose of purchase. I limit my receiver to -15db, and it tops out at +15db I'm about clarity over loudness and I'm more than satisfied with the results. Besides I like having the more power in the reserves let's my know I'm not pushing my receiver to hard. I don't plan on buying a power amp with this receiver cause it only has 2 channel pre-outs. But for a 5.2.2 these speakers are great. The grills are not mentioned to be taken off so don't, my guess is people like to see the woofer move. But let me tell you if it's moving to your liking then they won't last long and again bass and longevity don't walk hand in hand with these guys. So take it easy, huh. Oh and people buy these for outside fun please don't I live in New England and they wouldn't last a year out here in my humble opinion. We get all four seasons to the definition out here, lol. We'll that's my review if they die on me will let you know now that your reading this you have an idea on how they were used and treated with care of course like I treat my dog. Good luck!!!

Used it on my patio all summer long. Used them probably every 2 days or so. I have a 100 ft long backyard, we a pool at the end of it, and can CLEARLY hear the music with a perfect sound. I use them with an old Denon receiver so maybe a cheaper amp would work as good but it's really worth the money.

I bought these to go on our upper patio and run at the same size as a larger (and older) set of speakers already installed on our lower patio. They sounded way better then the larger speakers, to the point where I disconnected the lowers. They are small enough to be discretely placed, yet powerful enough to still deliver clear background music while hosting friends. Will probably invest in another set soon, but for the time being I am very happy with these!
