Product Description

DS18 NXL-IQ8/BK 8" 2-Way Coaxial Marine Speakers with Digital LED Lights & Bullet Tweeter - Black [NXL-IQ8/BK]

Elevate your on-water adventures with the DS18 NXL-IQ8/BK, a pair of rugged 8-inch marine-grade coaxial speakers designed to deliver booming, crystal-clear audio in the harshest outdoor conditions. Engineered for boats, UTVs, ATVs, and open-air setups, these 2-way speakers pump out 175W RMS (350W MAX) of powerful sound with a wide 35Hz-20kHz frequency response, ensuring deep bass, detailed mids, and piercing highs that cut through wind, waves, and engine noise. The standout floating 25mm bullet tweeter—featuring an aluminum diaphragm, Neodymium magnet, and copper motor rings—provides exceptional clarity and far-field projection, while the injection-molded polypropylene cone with UV protection and soft rubber surround handles the elements with ease.

Rated IP65 for water resistance and UV-stable construction, the NXL-IQ8/BK withstands saltwater spray, intense sun, and extreme temperatures without fading or failing, making them a go-to for marine enthusiasts seeking durable, all-weather performance. Add a vibrant touch with integrated digital RGB LED lighting around the grille, customizable via the optional BT Digital LED Control Module (LC-DRM, sold separately) for mood-matching colors that sync with your party's vibe—though note, the lights won't activate without this module.

Praised by users for their "full and rich sound that's hard to replicate in open air" and reliable build that doesn't blow out at rated power, these speakers earn high marks on platforms like Amazon and Reddit for easy integration into powersports systems and impressive projection over water. Installation is straightforward with surface mounting, a shallow 3-inch depth, and included accessories for a secure, hassle-free setup.

Key Features:

  • High-Output Audio: 175W RMS / 350W MAX power handling; 96dB sensitivity for loud, efficient performance at 4-ohm impedance
  • Marine-Tough Build: IP65 water-resistant; UV-protected ASA composite grille and ferrite/Neodymium magnets for corrosion resistance
  • Advanced Tweeter Tech: Integrated 25mm bullet tweeter for sharp highs up to 20kHz
  • Customizable LED Lighting: Digital RGB LEDs for dynamic, app-controlled illumination (controller required)
  • Easy Install: Surface-mount design with 7" x 3" cutout; includes wiring and hardware for quick deployment

''Awesome discounts on fishing reels and GPSs. Plus they have next day shipping. The convenience of online shopping is awesome, especially since it's getting harder to get around in store.
They made sure I got the electronics I needed and all the hardware for the install. They even do repair and installs, so I ended up hiring them for the work I needed done on my Mercury. Awesome experience.''

"Great experience! I Was looking to purchase a head gaskets for my Johnson 150 hp outboard motor. Mike & Ashley researched parts I needed and come to find out they turned me on to my outboard engine used O-Rings to reassemble my head covers and provided me with parts and torque specs! Thanks! 100% positive feedback and Recommend this Family Business if you need Marine Supplies."

SCOTT

Family owned and operated, which is a huge plus for me! I was browsing the website looking at Garmin gps units, their prices are great and competitive! I reached out to them to ask where I might find a hard to find lower unit part I was needing. They had it in stock! If they don’t have something in stock, they will get it asap! 100% recommend and I will buy from them again in the future!
