DS18 NXL-PS6BK 6.5-Inch Marine Speaker Pods with RGB LEDs and Dual Mounting Options, Black, Pair
Add a pair of black, two-way speaker pods to a jet ski, boat, or powersports vehicle, with included mounting options for flat surfaces and round bars.
Overview
A compact pod with a complete two-way speaker
The NXL-PS6BK packages DS18's NXL coaxial speaker design in a compact marine pod. Each pod combines a 6.5-inch woofer and a 1-inch titanium-diaphragm tweeter, with a 65Hz–23kHz response and 91dB sensitivity. The pair gives you left and right speakers with integrated cone and rear-logo RGB lighting, finished in matte black.
Key features
NXL-PS6BK at a glance
- Compact 6.5-inch pods bring two-way sound to jet skis, boats, and powersports builds with limited mounting space.
- Included flat bases and rotating bar clamps support surface mounting or attachment to 1.75- and 2-inch bars.
- Each 4-ohm speaker handles 100W RMS and uses a titanium tweeter to reproduce clear midrange and high frequencies.
- RGB lighting illuminates the speaker cones and rear logos for a coordinated look with a compatible controller.
- The black pair uses IP65-rated, UV-stable housings and coated grilles for outdoor installations.
Design and installation
Two included ways to mount
The supplied CNC aluminum bases support flat mounting, while die-cast aluminum clamps fit 1.75- or 2-inch bars and provide 360-degree rotation. Front and rear logos can also rotate to suit the installed angle. The pod measures 6.25 inches deep, with an overall height of 9.91 inches using the mast clamp or 7.76 inches using the flat clamp.
