Product Overview
DXQ6.5CX
6.5" 2-Way Coaxial Speaker with Yellow Straw and Composite Foam Cone — 150W RMS, 4-Ohm
The DXQ6.5CX prioritizes sound quality above everything. This 6.5-inch coaxial speaker delivers clear, distortion-free audio in car audio systems focused on SPL and precise sound. With a controllable 150W RMS and 300W MAX power handling, it manages high power levels without compromising clarity, and its wide frequency response from 45Hz to 20kHz captures every detail.
The woofer features a unique yellow straw and composite foam cone with a durable rubber surround, for excellent bass response and improved heat dissipation for reliability during intense use. Complementing this is a 1-inch silk dome tweeter with a neodymium magnet, delivering smooth, high-frequency sounds that enhance every note. The adjustable swivel tweeter mount lets you fine-tune your soundstage for optimal listening.
With a nominal impedance of 4 ohms and a 1.2-inch voice coil, the DXQ6.5CX integrates into a variety of car audio setups easily. The recommended high-pass crossover at 60Hz balances the sound spectrum, producing rich, full-range audio without distortion.
Constructed with an aluminum basket and improved heat dissipation, this speaker ensures long-lasting, consistent performance even under demanding conditions. Sold in pairs, the DXQ6.5CX is the simple, risk-free way to transform your existing audio system.

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.
