OSD 8" Wireless Bluetooth Powered 250W Outdoor Subwoofer w/ 2X Speaker Output Omni Directional IP65 Weather Resistant BOM4.1.2

Much better sound than expected. Has more bass than expected. And it handles my 200 watt receiver well. We've watched movies outdoors with these speakers and I'm happy with the sound. Always had to carry speakers in and out on clear days, nice to just leave speakers outside 24/7. They hide well too. Will they sound like high end speakers NO... however weatherproof design and sound are much better than expected.Months later updated reviewSpeakers rule, they have enought bass to sound acceptable without a sub and hide so well in environment... best purchase I've made by far... love em.

This unit didn't come with much in the way of installation instructions. The crossover for the sub is also set way too high. It doesn't have much, if any, in the way of low deep bass. I have tried to reach out to their customer support for questions. I haven't heard anything back since I emailed them about a year ago either. I wanted more bass with my outdoor sound and I think my speakers alone have more bass than this unit does.

I got a decent deal for this sub via Amazon Warehouse Deals, and have had it wired up with my outside speakers for about a month now. It gave my backyard sound system just that extra "umph" it needed.A few things to note:This is a pass-through, passive speaker. It does not require an electrical outlet, i.e. it is not powered. Therefore, you're not going to get the same boom level you get from that active 12" subwoofer you have in your den.The wiring is straightforward; it comes with an easy to follow diagram it is very easy to hook up.Although it is made to go in-ground, I have mine simply set on top of the pavers that make up my patio floor. It sounds great!It seems very durable....time will tell.I don't think it matters where you place it...the added bass it provides seems to resonate all around.All in all, I am very happy with this outdoor subwoofer. Before this I only had a couple of speakers that I piped music through when sitting outside, and it sounded okay. This sub has really added noticeable depth to the sound and has made the music we listen to outside much richer. I highly recommend it!

I have a small Brick patio 10'x15' with 2 older decent 6.5 Rock speakers that sounded OK but severely lacked that Umph only a Sub can deliver.My music ranges form Rock, Jazz, Reggae New Country and EDM. I love music! As we spend almost every night out there by the fire pitit was time to improve my lacking system.Connected All wiring and placed Sub on the bricks in the corner of the patio which is enclosed by a vinyl fence. At first I was not impressed.. I expected way more bass due to the size of this unit. Now this might be due to my Amp or lack of larger gauge wire previously installed.BUT BUT BUT, what I did find was due to the fact that this Sub has a built in Xover my existing Rock speakers sound Awesome. I have a much fuller , Complete sound with bass I was lacking prior. Most of our listening is at a lower volume (background music). But when turned up my system sounds great! Not to much Bass, just enough to make the music sound complete. I could probably use a bigger amp in the future but for now My sanctuary rocks!

I purchased this to set up audio outdoors on my patio. My amp is a Sony STR D500 5.1 receiver with a passive ported sub. I am using a set of Pyle weather proof mid-range satellite speakers. I chose this item as the subwoofer because it most closely matches the Sony passive sub which came with the receiver (but is not weatherproof). I am not using the speaker crossover pass-through feature - my Pyle units are all directly connected to the amp's discrete channels.Some notes about the design. The driver cone actually faces UP. The top (the green disc that appears to be sitting on the black ring in the picture) houses the crossover circuitry. It consists of a base plate fastened to the black ring, and a green disc that twist-locks on to it. I thought this to be a somewhat odd location for the setup because it therefore sits directly in sound field of the woofer cone. However, because low frequency sound fields have no spatial or directional specificity, this is not technically a problem. It is however a problem if the housing on top is not structurally tight, which brings me to the first reason why I give this a 4 star.I installed it in my basement to test it. Right from the start there was a terrible rattle inside the top housing with bass notes. When I gently shook the unit, I could hear that something inside was loose. So I dismantled the top. It turns out that one of the two screws that fastens the crossover circuit board to the posts in the base had completely unscrewed and was rattling around inside. I re-installed the screw. I also installed some plumbing washers on ALL the screws throughout the housing (to reduce contact between metal and plastic). All the rattles and squeaks when the sub operates are now gone!!And that brings me to the second reason for the 4-star. The components in the unit are decent and the sound is very good generally. However, although identical in audio output characteristics to the much cheaper Sony passive sub, the bass coming out of this unit is not as crisp. It also "breaks" ever so slightly on tracks that have real strong bass lines. I am not an audio engineer by any stretch, but my guess is that this is because the unit is designed as a "sealed" unit, rather than the more conventional "ported" unit. But the "seal" in the hard plastic housing is not really that tight. The performance may improve when I properly "bury" the base of the unit in the ground this coming spring. I will update my review then.All in all, a good purchase, albeit a little pricey for a passive subwoofer. I also wish that OSD made a simpler non-crossover version of this. Also, a little better attention to QC would avoid these ownership frustrations.Happy listening.
