DS18 Audio NXL 6.5” 150W RMS 4-Ohm 2-Way Marine Coaxial Speaker with Digital LED Lights, Bullet Tweeter, Covers
DS18’s NXL-IQ6 redefines marine-grade audio. Crafted for outdoor environments, these 6.5” coaxial speakers deliver 150W RMS and 300W MAX of crisp, full-bodied sound that cuts through open air easily. Its IP65 water-resistant and UV-protected construction means the IQ’s holds up where others fall short.
Intelligent Design with True Two-Way Sound
The NXL-IQ6 features a floating 25mm bullet tweeter seamlessly integrated into the grille, working in tandem with a dynamic mid-bass woofer to deliver detailed mids and highs up to 20KHz. Each speaker includes a high-quality injection-molded polypropylene cone with UV protection, and durable soft rubber surround. A 4-ohm impedance ensures system flexibility, while the 95dB sensitivity gives it the volume and presence serious audio junkies crave.
