Product Overview

NXL-XDT/BK

1.75" Driver Wakeboard Pod Tower Speaker with Integrated RGB LED Lighting — 300W RMS, Matte Black

Need highs and vocals that cut through wind and open water instead of getting lost in it? The NXL-XDT/BK mounts directly to your tower and throws sound outward with real reach, keeping vocals crisp and clear well past the boat.

Locked In, Built to Last
An updated clamp design holds the pod firmly to your tower bar for one of the more secure mounts in its class. Backed by a 4-ohm, 300W RMS driver (900W max), it's built to run hard without losing clarity.

Glows After Sundown
Front and rear RGB accents let you dial in a custom look, with color control available through the separately sold LED-BTC or LC-RGB controller — so the visual keeps pace with the sound once it gets dark.

IP65-rated and UV-stable, the housing is built to handle sun, spray, and rough water day after day — whether it's mounted on a boat tower, a UTV cage, or a bike.

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.
