DS18 Audio Luxury 8” 175W RMS 4-Ohm 2-Way Marine Coaxial Speaker with Digital LED Lights and Flush Magnetic Mount Grille
The NXL-LXY8 gives your system full-range DS18 sound, show-ready RGB lighting, and a clean, screwless flush-mount fit that holds up through anything.
Flush-Mount Magnetic Grille
The flush-fit magnetic grille gives your install a clean, high-end finish. Magnets mean faster installs and cleaner removals if you ever need to service the speaker. And because it’s connected your grille stays tight when the adventure gets rough.
Full-Range Takeover
With a high-output neodymium-loaded tweeter suspended in front of the cone, the NXL-LXY8 gives you crisp, clean highs and tight midbass in one drop-in upgrade.
Digital LED Glow
A full digital LED ring sits behind the cone, creating a backlit glow that matches your vibe. Add DS18’s LC-DRM (sold separately) to unlock full color control.
Marine-Rated Strength for All Terrains
IP65-rated with UV-resistant housing and rubber surround, the NXL-LXY8 is built for boats, UTVs, bikes, and open-air builds that see water, salt, heat, and impact.
