DS18 NXL-8M/WH HYDRO 8" 125W RMS 2-Way Marine Speakers with RGB LED Lighting & Stainless-Steel Mesh Grilles, White, Pair

The DS18 NXL-8M/WH is a pair of white 8-inch HYDRO marine coaxial speakers with conventional RGB LED lighting. Their stainless-steel mesh grilles, protective composite construction, and 4-ohm impedance make them suitable for open-deck and powersports installations where sound output and lighting need to work together.

Key Features

• 125W RMS and 375W maximum per speaker at 4 ohms.
• 2-way coaxial design combines an 8-inch woofer with a 1-inch high-frequency driver.
• Integrated conventional RGB LEDs illuminate speaker cones.
• ASA composite grilles with 316 stainless-steel mesh complement the glossy-white finish.
• IP65 marine-grade construction and UV-stabilized materials for exposed use.
• Ferrite/neodymium motor structures and butyl-rubber surrounds.
• Silicone protective covers listed by DS18.

Installation & System Integration

Install both speakers in correctly sized marine baffles and provide separate connections for the 4-ohm audio load and RGB light wiring. Use a compatible analog RGB controller for multicolor effects. A 50Hz high-pass setting is the manufacturer recommendation; speaker placement may require additional equalization.

Compatibility

Compatible with 4-ohm marine amplifier outputs and analog RGB LED control hardware; not the digital addressable NXL-IQ lighting interface.
