Product Overview

Description

The JK wake-up: shallow bullet mids and dome tweeters in the dash, a bolt-in replacement bar carrying two 8" marine coaxials and neodymium bullet tweeters, and an 1800W four-channel amp.

What's in the package

  • 2 × DS18 PRO-X6.4BMSL — 6.5" shallow mid-range loudspeaker with aluminum bullet, 2.15" mounting depth, 200W RMS (dash)
  • 1 × DS18 DTX — 2.2" titanium dome tweeters, pair (dash)
  • 1 × DS18 PRO-TWR3 — 3" tweeter adapter rings for the Jeep dash tweeter location, pair (dash)
  • 1 × DS18 JK-SBAR22/BK — replacement overhead sound bar, black, with slots for 2 × 8" speakers and 2 × 2.3" tweeters (overhead sound bar)
  • 1 × DS18 NXL-8M/BK — 8" HYDRO marine coaxial speakers with RGB LED, pair, 125W RMS each (overhead sound bar)
  • 2 × DS18 PRO-TW7L — 2.3" neodymium RGB super bullet tweeter (overhead sound bar)
  • 1 × DS18 G1800.4D — full-range Class-D 4-channel amplifier, 4 × 150W RMS at 4 ohms (amplifier)
  • 1 × DS18 AKIT4 — 4-GA amplifier installation wiring kit — or upgrade to the OFCKIT4 100% OFC copper kit (wiring)

Fitment

2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK and JKU: the PRO-X6.4BMSL shallow mids drop into the factory 6.5" dash locations (2.15" depth) and the DTX dome tweeters take the factory dash tweeter spots on the PRO-TWR3 adapter rings; the sound bar replaces the factory overhead bar.

All four speakers and the bar are wired to the included amplifier.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

RMS vs. MAX power — which number do I actually care about?

RMS is what your gear handles continuously; MAX is the short burst it can survive without complaint. Match your amplifier's RMS output to your speakers' RMS rating — sizing off the MAX number is how magic smoke gets released.

What does the IP65 rating on DS18 marine gear actually mean?

It's dust-tight and rated against low-pressure water jets from any direction — built for spray, rain, and the occasional wave over the bow, not for full submersion. If something's going somewhere it could sit underwater, that's a different conversation entirely.

How do I match an amplifier to my speakers without guessing?

Add up the RMS rating of everything the amp will power, and pick an amp whose RMS output (at your speakers' impedance — usually 4-ohm) lands close to that total. Undersized is thin sound; wildly oversized is a fast way to blow a voice coil.

Can I mix marine-grade gear into a standard car audio setup, or the reverse?

You can run marine-grade gear in a car — it's just over-built for that environment, no downside besides cost. Running non-weatherproof car audio gear in an open UTV or boat is the direction that causes problems.

What gauge wiring kit do I need?

It scales with your amp's power draw and the length of the run — DS18's OFC kits come in 4-gauge and 8-gauge for a reason. Undersized wiring on a high-draw system is a voltage-drop and heat problem waiting to happen; when in doubt, size up.
