Product Overview

EXL-SQ6.5

6.5" 2-Way Coaxial Speaker with Fiber Glass Cone — 120W RMS, 3-Ohm

Instantly increase the sound quality in your car with powerful, clear sound that fills any space. The 2-way design of the EXL-SQ6.5 combines a woofer and a tweeter to produce full, dynamic sound — reproducing both high and low frequencies with remarkable accuracy.

The 3-ohm impedance makes these speakers extremely easy to incorporate into any high-powered audio system.

The glass fiber cone ensures optimal performance with an extended lifespan, providing stiffness for accurate sound reproduction while minimizing distortion.

Every component — from the PEI dome tweeter to the neodymium magnets and black glass fiber cone — has been engineered for maximum audio quality and clarity.

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.
