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.

I have a pair of your rock speakers that have been outside for about 10 years one now has a "deteriorated cone surround" sound. I'd like to replace just that one but all the models have changed. (more than once I believe)the box that the speaker came in is labeled SPGS8##HYPCBG 8" Rock Gray with HYPE in an oval. I did another system for a friend a few years later and bought HF9's I believe that seemed to be the same. Is this RS850 the same as those?

Hi Don:
I am not familiar with those model numbers. There is a HF9 speaker from another manufacture with a similar speaker. Both 8" 2 way rock speakers. Our enclosure is a little wider and not as high. The RS 850 is our best selling/Sounding rock speaker in our lineup. Available in Brown or Grey and ours includes free shipping (ours weights 16 lbs vs 18 lbs for HF9.)

google it. It came from you . RS790 (HF9) I've been buying outdoor speakers, controls and impedance matching speaker selector boxes for a dozen years or more from you guys. I didn't want to have to replace both if the RS850 was basically the same.
