DS18 NXL-6/BK 6.5-Inch Marine Coaxial Speakers with RGB LEDs, 100W RMS, Matte Black, Pair
Bring music and coordinated lighting to your boat or powersports build with a pair of compact, matte-black coaxial speakers designed for exposure to water spray and sunlight.
Overview
Two-way sound for open-air listening
The NXL-6/BK combines a 6.5-inch polypropylene woofer with a 1-inch titanium-diaphragm tweeter, keeping both drivers in a single mounting location. Its 45Hz–23kHz frequency response covers a broad musical range, while 91dB sensitivity makes efficient use of the connected amplifier. Each 4-ohm speaker handles 100W RMS. Sold as a matte-black pair.
