OSD Forza 55.25" Pendant Speaker IP66 Rated, Hanging or Landscape, 8 Ohm/70V Tap, Bronze (Single)
Designed for distributed audio systems in home and commercial settings, our Forza 5 hanging pendant speaker is ideal for spaces with irregular or uneven architectural features such as high vaulted ceilings. Pendant loudspeakers resemble lighting fixtures and blend into high-end home environments, malls, restaurants, bars, museums and other spaces where multiple speakers are required and where speaker placement is challenging. The included cable and hook can be suspended from poles or other fixed structures so placement is flexible and all cables are hidden for an aesthetically-pleasing appearance. The Forza 5 pendant speakers are a 2-way design that includes a 5.25” polypropylene woofer and 1” silk dome tweeter that work in tandem to 120-degree sound dispersion with rich and accurate high, medium and low frequencies. Wiring and hanging hardware is hidden for an aesthetically pleasing installation, and the outer shell enclosure is built with an IP66-rated UV-resistant material so it’s suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Outdoor mounting accessories can be purchased separately for landscape and surface mounting.
Durable Cone Materials
In addition to a weather-resistant enclosure, the Forza 5 includes a 5.25” polypropylene woofer. Polypropylene is a popular speaker material due to the added stiffness and durability over paper cones. Polypropylene cone woofers produce rich and detailed low- and mid-range and very balanced sound overall. For the high end, the these hanging pendant speakers include a 1” silk dome tweeter.

Are these Bluetooth?
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Frank:All of our Pendant speakers, including the FORZA 5 and FORZA6 are passive speakers with no Bluetooth built-in. You would need to add something like our NERO XD Streaming Integrated Power Amplifier with both built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (with App control) which would need to be hard wired to the FORZA speakers. We do have a unique outdoor product called the BOM4.1 which is an outdoor Powered Subwoofer with a 4.1 channel multichannel amplifier (one channel; 100Watts for the 8-inch internal subwoofer in a weather resistant housing and two (2x 60W) channel stereo amplifiers to power any two pair of Passive outdoor speakers like the FORZA5 or any of our ROCK Garden or Patio speakers. You can choose two of the same pair of speakers or mix and match based upon your application.TL/5576

On the forza 5.25, what are the tap settings from full counter clockwise of the tap dial?
I am setting them up but from full counter clockwise it sits at the 3.75w before the 8 ohm. How many clockwise clicks to get to the 15w 70v position?
Customer Service • 09/30/2021, 11:48:20 AM
Hi Jason:
Settings going counterclockwise 8-ohms, (70Volt) 1.87W, 3.75W, 7.5W, 15W. There are two counter clockwise clicks to get to 15W from 3.75W. There is an image of the back of the FORZA5 on its web page on outdoorspeakerdepot.com.

I have 30 x 60 patio and would like to place in garden around patio. How many speakers do you recommend for optimal sound?
Customer Service • 08/22/2022, 7:55:09 PM
Hi Dwight:
That is a loaded question with a pretty good-sized patio. Can you send me pictures of your deck from several angles? Send to tim@osdaudio.com. And maybe a description of what equipment and where you plan to install them. We typically recommend adding an outdoor in-ground sub to support the FORZA Garden Landscape speakers (4", 5.25" or 6.5"). Will all speakers play at the same time all the time?
