Designed to blend within any outdoor setting, the FORZA-10 is a powerful and stealthy outdoor rated subwoofer that enhances outdoor sound systems by adding crucial bass notes for a more enriching surround sound experience. FORZA-10 cranks out 300W of power and includes a 10” polypropylene cone woofer and a high impact molded plastic enclosure with a unique antique bronze finish. Truly weather-resistant, the FORZA-10 is IP66 rated which means it is 100% sealed and protected from dirt and dust as well as powerful water jets such as sprinklers. Its unique curved shape and down-firing port makes it the perfect addition to decks and porches, but you can place it anywhere you run speaker wire. For optimal performance, however, we recommend placing this subwoofer on a paved or hard surface. The FORZA-10 also includes a built-in eye bolt that allows you to anchor it to the location to prevent theft or to keep it firmly in place. Pair this outdoor subwoofer with a mono subwoofer amplifier like the OSD SMP200 and combine it with any of our landscape satellite speakers, and you’ll have an outdoor audio system that rivals your indoor system.
Why Add an Outdoor Subwoofer?
Most outdoor speakers are not designed to cover lower frequencies so adding a subwoofer to a backyard audio system can make a huge difference in the quality of sound you experience. If you have outdoor speakers in your patio or backyard, you’re hearing mid and high frequencies and some bass so adding an outdoor subwoofer not only delivers missing bass notes, but also takes the low-frequency burden off the other speakers which will optimize your entire system.
Do I Need a Subwoofer Amplifier?
Yes! The Forza-10 is a passive subwoofer and needs a subwoofer amplifier to power it. An ideal match is our SMP200.

I have a receiver that has a dual RCA sub output. I think i need a separate amp to power this but I am not sure. If so what amp would you recommend, I would like to potentially be able to connect 2 of these subs in the future without having to additional hardware. Here is a link to my current receiver/amp. Thank you

Hi Irving:
Your best choice for the FORZA10 would be our SMP-300 rated at 250 W continuous and 500 Watts peak. And since the FORZA10 is rated at 4 ohm it will draw more power from the SMP-300. Which is good since at 86 dB sensitivity the FORZA10 needs a little more power to fire up. Note in order to add a second FORZA10 you will need to add another SMP 300. You can not connect two 4-ohm FORZA10 Subs (creating 2-ohm load) to any of our SMP Subwoofer Amplifiers. So unfortunately you would have to add a second SMP-300 amp if adding that second FORZA10. Note your Pyle amp has a single right and left output Sub-woofer output. If you added two SMP-300 you would daisy chain them together.
Good Luck

Is the SMP100 good enough to power this sub. I’m planning on adding this to my deck to give my speakers some extra bass. Not looking to rock things just round out the sound better. Thanks.

Hi Doug:
At a minimum the SMP-200 would be a better choice, and the SMP-300 would be a perfect match. More power equates to better performance especially at lower volumes.

Hi, I have 4 satellite/outdoor speakers running at 8 ohms on an Onkyo av receiver and Yamaha wxc50 preamp. Question - if I was to add this subwoofer, how do I connect it? This is a passive/non powered sub, right? So I would t use the sub out/lfe on the receiver. I see the sub has a single connector with a black and a red wire - how does this work? I need the power and signal from the receiver to run the sub, right?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike:
You would need a dedicated Subwoofer Power Amplifier to make this work with your system. The question is, are you using the Subwoofer for playing music from your Yamaha Pre-amp Musicast or your Onkyo AV Receiver for surround sound or even stereo mode from your AVR? If it is for music generated from the Yamaha WXC50, there is a dedicated Preamp signal level output. The ONKYO AVR also features a Preamp signal level output. In both cases, you will need a dedicated Powered Subwoofer Amplifier. Check out our SMP500 or our SAM300 (on our osdaudio.com premium site under our Black Series). You would have to call for a unique quote from our Customer Service, mention Tim from Tech Support would suggest a special price. There are also two new amps coming in at the end of the month, the SMP200 and SMP300. That would give you a price range between $199.00 and $349.00.
Good luck

Can you confirm if this is a powered subwoofer?
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Kris:
The Forza-10 is a passive 10" Outdoor Subwoofer that needs a dedicated Subwoofer Power Amplifier. Currently, we have two OSD Audio Subwoofers that would work for this sub. Check out the SMP500 and the SAM300 (found on our osdaudio.com web site under Black Series Amplifiers) There is no price online; you would have to call customer service and tell them Tim from Tech Support sent you. There are two new more affordable choices coming to our warehouse at the end of April 2019. The SMP200 and SMP300 both on the outdoorspeakerdepot.com web site. One other thing to think about passive subs. When connecting up to 50 feet, we recommend using 14 Gauge wire. Over 50 feet you will need 12 Gauge. We offer both in Direct Burial rated cables (minimum 50 feet).

Is it possible to get a working demonstration of the outdoor subwoofers
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Aaron:The FORZA10 is just a passive subwoofer so you need a dedicated subwoofer amplifier to go with it. What else can you tell me about your setup? Knowing more about your system will help me answer your question. The sub features free shipping and a 30-day performance guarantee. tim@osdaudio.comTL/5528
